Eager to develop faster data paths to Europe, BIGLOBE has established a direct connection to DE-CIX Frankfurt. Moving to one of the world\u2019s largest Internet Exchanges is designed to enhance latency and network performance for BIGLOBE\u2019s customers, particularly for data exchange with European eyeball networks.<\/p>\n
As one of the largest ISPs in Japan, BIGLOBE is using the remote peering service from the world-leading Internet Exchange operator to optimise its intercontinental data flows<\/a>.<\/p>\n The organisation says the Tier 2 ISP connects through its existing access point in Tokyo. Likewise, peering at the site aims to control data flows and minimise latency.<\/p>\n \u201cRemote peering enables ISPs across the globe to connect to DE-CIX Internet Exchanges independent of their physical location,\u201d says Frank P. Orlowski, executive vice president corporate development at DE-CIX. \u201cThis allows for more efficient control of data flows, reduced latency and significantly improved network stability.\u201d<\/p>\n With nearly 1,100 connected networks<\/a> and an annual data volume of roughly 45 exabytes, DE-CIX Frankfurt is one of the largest Internet Exchanges in the world. GlobePEER Remote enables customers at one DE-CIX location to access other Internet Exchanges within the global DE-CIX system without needing additional on-site infrastructure.<\/p>\n This includes Singapore, New York, Madrid, Dubai and Frankfurt. Companies are also able to simply use their existing access.<\/p>\n Yuichi Minami, executive officer\/CNO at BIGLOBE adds: \u201cBy directly connecting to European eyeball and content networks, we shorten data paths and improve service quality \u2013 especially for streaming and cloud-based applications.<\/p>\n \u201cAt the same time, we reduce costs and boost the resilience of our network.\u201d<\/p>\n Headquartered in Tokyo, BIGLOBE provides internet access and network services, in addition to content and applications for both private and business users.<\/p>\n Its new peering connection is part of the company\u2019s international expansion strategy. Having been in operation for 30 years this year, DE-CIX<\/a> is accessible from data centres in more than 600 cities worldwide. It has been expanding its locations and offerings to boost its interconnectivity capabilities.<\/p>\n RELATED STORIES<\/p>\n UAE-IX powered by DE-CIX becomes \u2018first in Middle East\u2019 to offer 400 GE access<\/a><\/p>\n
