MIX Announces a New PoP in Equinix’s ML5 Data Centre

Italy’s leading internet network interconnection platform strengthens its development strategy with a powerful new PoP and improvements to its customer portal.

MIX announces the activation of a new Point of Presence (PoP) at ML5, Equinix’s Settimo Milanese data centre near Milan. 

The new MIX node in ML5 further increases the coverage of the public peering network already present in major data centres across the country. The PoP connects customers at 100 Gbps and further expands the offering of MIX-IT’s peering LAN network, to which over 350 networks—with a total capacity exceeding 10 Tbps—are already interconnected.

It is now possible to connect to MIX in ML5 with 10GE or 100GE ports, and several MIX switches to balance IP traffic at full wire speed.

Like all primary MIX nodes, the architecture is designed to ensure total reliability on different paths for all customers in ML5 who want to connect to the peering LAN with redundant connections— easily meeting the needs of content owners and distributors.

To enhance user experience, MIX has also launched a new version of the MIX Customer Portal©, the online platform dedicated to MIX customers. This release introduces several new features, including greater administrative control and improved traffic statistics.

Alessandro Talotta, President and Executive President of MIX, comments, “MIX continues to increase its presence by investing in the development of its Internet interconnection platforms and thus facilitating a growth path for operators in the sector”.
