(Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, and the Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX), the world's largest single metro area Internet exchange, today announced a partnership agreement that will extend AMS-IX's peering fabric into Equinix's Amsterdam-1 (AM1) Internet Business Exchange (IBX®) data center. As a part of the agreement, AMS-IX will establish a point-of-presence in Equinix's AM1 IBX center, which is scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2008 and was obtained in the acquisition of Netherlands network-neutral data center provider Virtu earlier this year. Equinix customers will be able to directly exchange traffic, or “peer,” with AMS-IX's critical mass of diverse Internet service providers and high-quality traffic exchange participants to increase reliability, improve performance, and reduce the costs of network traffic exchange.
