AMS-IX B.V.

After the initial public release of the "The Internet revealed", a film not only about the working of the internet but more specifically how an Internet Exchange plays an integral role in the Internet, the film producers received some important feedback on how to further improve this version. So taking those suggestions on board, the final version of the film has now been made available! http://www.euro-ix.net/

As of today, December 10 2009, the 7th AMS-IX colocation site Interxion
(AMS5) is ready to take connections to the AMS-IX peering platform.

On the 18th of November AMS-IX will have the next General and Technical meeting. The meeting will be held in the Radisson SAS Amsterdam Airport in Schiphol-Rijk close to the latest new AMS-IX location Interxion AMS5.

At the MENOG conference for Middle Eastern Network Operators in Beirut Henk Steenman will speak about How AMS-IX evolved from a small community initiative to one of the worlds largest Internet Exchanges. The presentation is called "Growing an Internet Exchange Point"

Elisa Jasinska, one of the AMS-IX NOC engineers, gave a lecture at the Polytechnic University of Amsterdam (Hogeschool van Amsterdam) about Internet Exchanges and Ethernet engineering.

After the migration of the previous active/passive Ethernet platforms to two active/passive MPLS/VPLS topologies in earlier maintenance windows, the AMS-IX NOC has now migrated these two halves into one single active/active MPLS/VPLS topology with 4 core-switches in parallel. The 10GE member connections are now distributed over all PE's in the newly created platform. More information on the platform can be found under Infrastructure.

During the night the AMS-IX NOC moved the second half of the peering platform to an MPLS/VPLS set-up.
