The Arizona Internet Exchange (AZIX) today announced it is open for
business, backed by Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: LLNW). The
Exchange is located at i/o Data Centers, the leading data center as
a service (DCaaS™) provider, and is designed to connect providers
locally at one of the largest data centers in the world, in one of
the largest Internet markets in the country.
AZIX will support cross-connects between transit providers for
enhanced content delivery across Arizona and beyond. The Exchange
will be run out of i/o PHOENIX, which was recently awarded Tier III
Design Certification from the Uptime Institute. i/o PHOENIX is one
of the largest commercially-available data centers in the world and
has access to more than a dozen telecommunications carriers
including AboveNet, AT&T, Level3, Qwest, Verizon Business and
Telia Sonera. i/o will provide the data center infrastructure
including uninterruptible, conditioned power, cooling, security and
network access.
"We're excited to help drive connectivity in our own home town,"
said Denver Maddux, Vice President, Network Architecture, Limelight
Networks, Inc. "Not only will the Exchange decrease costs for
providers locally and improve content delivery speeds, it will also
help in fostering a community of content and access providers in
the Arizona market."
"i/o PHOENIX provides the ideal platform for the Arizona
Internet Exchange," says Kevin Malik, CIO for i/o. "With free
cross-connects and over a dozen telecommunications carriers in our
Meet-Me-Rooms, as well as some of the largest Web properties, i/o
will be able to offer Arizona Internet Exchange customers unmatched
connectivity."
The Phoenix area today is home to some of the world's largest
Web properties. By routing traffic through the new Arizona Internet
Exchange, providers will save on transit costs and decrease latency
by roughly ten to twenty milliseconds. That latency drop will bring
speeds below the ten-millisecond threshold and will further enhance
online experiences in the region. Lower latency and improved
performance consistency have a particular impact on heavy-bandwidth
tasks, such as large software downloads and rich-media
applications, including live streaming video.
The Arizona Internet Exchange offers the applied experience of
Limelight's delivery professionals. It also extends Limelight
Networks' unparalleled presence around the world, adding to the
company's vast cloud storage architecture and robust computing
platform. For any providers with customers in the region, the
Exchange adds a new hub for content delivery, ensuring speedier
transport and higher-quality online experiences.
