UPIX Boosts Connection to NYIIX with 100G Port
November 23, 2021TELEHOUSE NYIIX, one of the largest neutral IXPs on the U.S. East Coast and across the world, today announces that UPIX, neutral network operator and global provider of connectivity services, has just upgraded its New York NYIIX port from 10G to 100G. Having established its connection and become a reseller of NYIIX in July 2020, UPIX’s newly expanded connectivity establishes it as one of the largest resellers of NYIIX in South America and enables the company to deliver more robust connectivity to its customers.
UPIX, headquartered in Brazil and the United States (the company’s second largest market), offers a portfolio of services that includes global connectivity, colocation, cloud services and managed services. The company has a presence in 15+ countries, with 100+ nodes, 200+ connected partners and 400+ connected cities across its footprint, which includes 25,000 miles of fiber coverage in Brazil. UPIX is dedicated to ensuring low-latency, stable internet on a global scale.
Established in 1996 and founded by TELEHOUSE America, the NYIIX peering exchange provides interconnection points in New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, boasting more than 250 active member networks connected and more than 1 Tbps in peak traffic. UPIX connects with NYIIX at 60 Hudson, one of 7 major carrier hotels in the NY/NJ metro area where NYIIX is present. Other locations include 7 Teleport Dr., 85 Tenth Ave., 111 Eighth Ave., 32 Ave. of the Americas, 165 Halsey St. and 2 Emerson Ln. By establishing a larger port, UPIX and NYIIX are able to more seamlessly meet growing bandwidth demands from global organizations while fostering enhanced traffic control, improved network performance, reduced costs and more.
Akio Sugeno, VP of Engineering for TELEHOUSE NYIIX, says, “Organizations and communities across the globe are catering to a rapidly changing, highly digital world. This is a world that depends more heavily on fast, reliable internet than ever before, and network infrastructure has got to be able to meet those needs. We’re proud to join forces with UPIX to deliver transformative results through trusted networking and connectivity solutions.”
Daniel Oda, Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Operating Officer for UPIX, notes, “It only took us a year to upgrade our port with NYIIX because the value of enhanced interconnection continues to be underscored by global demand. This new 100G connection empowers our ecosystem today while enabling us to expand further into the NYIIX ecosystem in the future — at their Los Angeles location or elsewhere. We look forward to growing our collaboration into the future on behalf of global connectivity.”
