JPIX extends peering fabric to Equinix

Japan Internet Exchange Co. Ltd. (JPIX), the largest Internet exchange in Japan, has extended its peering fabric to the Equinix Tokyo-2 (TY2) Internet Business Exchange (IBX(R)) data centre located in Shinagawa. As a part of the agreement, Equinix customers will be able to directly exchange traffic, or "peer," with JPIX's Internet service providers, cable TV service providers and content providers, with the objective of reducing the costs of network traffic exchange. Under this agreement, JPIX will set up an Internet Exchange (IX) switch at the Equinix TY2 centre, and it will use Equinix's IBXLink service to directly connect to the Equinix TY1 centre located in Heiwajima.
