WHY LINX NOVA

Why networks connect at NoVA

Nine of the top ten content networks

The networks your users pull traffic from are already here. Peer with them directly and keep the path between request and content as short as it can be.

A gateway to Europe and South America

NoVA sits on the transatlantic and South American routes, with onward reach to LON1 and NYIIX through IXConnect.

Data centre neutral

Connect from any participating facility in Ashburn. Your choice of data centre, carrier and cross connect stays your own.

Traffic stays local

Keep regional traffic in the region rather than routing it out and back. Shorter paths, lower latency, more predictable performance.

OUR SERVICES

Available at LINX NoVA

Connect directly with hundreds of networks to exchange traffic. Direct interconnection lowers latency, gives you greater control over how traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand as demand grows.

Explore Peering

A direct connection between your network and Microsoft cloud services, with optimal routing for Microsoft 365, Teams and Azure. Low latency and reliable performance for business-critical traffic.

Explore Microsoft Azure Peering

Separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, keeping private traffic isolated within LINX infrastructure while simplifying how you manage it.

Explore Private VLAN

A private Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners or customers, for controlled traffic exchange within LINX infrastructure.

Explore Closed User Group

LINX Protect is free to all members peering via our route servers. It identifies malicious traffic during an attack and drops it before it reaches your infrastructure, using Remotely Triggered Black Hole filtering.
