Peering
Peering is when two or more networks connect directly to exchange internet traffic, making it faster, and more efficient, reducing latency, lowering transit costs, and improving network reliability and speed.
At LINX, members can connect with hundreds of other networks through a trusted, high-performance platform. This direct interconnection improves network performance, enables greater control over traffic flows, and makes it simple to expand connectivity as demand grows.
Microsoft Azure Peering Service
Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS) provides a direct connection between your network and Microsoft’s cloud services. It ensures optimal routing for Microsoft 365, Teams, and other Azure applications, offering low-latency, highly reliable performance for business-critical traffic.
By routing direct through LINX’s infrastructure, you get a low latency connection, reliable uptime, and advanced security that simply isn’t possible when using public internet connections.
Private Interconnect
Private Interconnect is a direct, secure connection between your network and other LINX members, bypassing the public internet for better security and performance. It provides reliable, low-latency bandwidth that helps keep your data safe and networks running smoothly.
LINX’s Private Interconnect service means gaining access to a robust, carrier neutral platform that supports seamless connectivity across key locations.
Private VLAN
Private VLAN lets you securely separate and manage multiple network connections over a single physical port, helping to protect sensitive data and ensure efficient network management.
LINX’s Private VLAN service offers a flexible, carrier-neutral platform that allows members to maintain private, isolated connections within the LINX infrastructure.
Cloud Connect
LINX’s Cloud Connect provides secure, low-latency, direct connections to Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud services through LINX’s existing network infrastructure. This service ensures reliable uptime and greater control over your traffic, offering enhanced performance compared to public internet connections.
Colocation
Colocation enables you to host your infrastructure within professionally managed data centres, providing secure, scalable, and reliable environments for your equipment. By colocating with LINX, you gain seamless access to high-performance interconnection services and the opportunity to connect directly with a diverse community of networks and partners.
Closed User Group
Closed User Group enables members to establish a private, secure Layer 2 network connecting multiple sites, partners, or customers, facilitating controlled and efficient traffic exchange. This service offers enhanced security, simplified management, and flexible scalability, all within LINX’s trusted infrastructure.
