Data4 incorporates an ESpanix exchange point

Data4 has installed an ESpanix neutral exchange node on its Alcobendas campus, the largest neutral traffic exchange node in southern Europe and one of the main Internet Exchange Points (IXP) in Europe. The purpose of the installation is to optimize the management of companies’ connectivity to the network. With this addition, Data4 clients will be able to interconnect directly with the ESpanix exchange node that has its own peering ecosystem.

Although operators and content providers have been connected through peering for a long time, the explosion of data exchange and migration to the cloud is causing companies to turn more to this technology to facilitate their access to the cloud. By connecting to an exchange point, they gain performance, achieve the necessary resistance for their critical applications and optimize their costs. The new ESpanix data exchange point in Alcobendas will allow companies to optimize the way they exchange data and hybridize their cloud platforms within the Data4 infrastructure.
