Upgrade of the connection between VSIX and MIX to 100G: a step forward for connectivity in the Triveneto area

Just over a year after the activation of the connection between VSIX and MIX, it became necessary to upgrade it to 100G. Having moved beyond the initial experimental phase, it is already time to accelerate and increase the capacity of the connection between the Lombard hub and the one in the Triveneto area.

The increase in connection capacity between VSIX and MIX represents a concrete response to the growing data traffic demands in the Triveneto area. This decision is driven by the need to support the increasing demand for broadband and further improve the quality of services offered to end users.

Luca Finotti, Chief Technical Officer of VSIX, stated: “We thank MIX because this collaboration allows us to enhance the offering of digital services to northeastern Italy. The upgrade of the connection is precisely in this direction and ensures us a large margin for future development. The cooperation between IXPs is an added value for Italy, in which we want to continue to invest.”

Cristiano Zanforlin, Chief Commercial Officer of MIX, added: “We are very satisfied with how the collaboration with VSIX is progressing, particularly with this recent upgrade. It is a strong signal of our willingness to cooperate with other IXs, provided that it brings added value to the operator community and, consequently, to the end-user community. It is becoming increasingly important for users to have more alternatives to access content.”

The main benefits of this choice for VSIX and the Triveneto area include:

• Increased network capacity. The ability to handle a much higher volume of traffic reduces the risks of congestion related to unexpected traffic spikes.
• Reduced latency times. The increase in bandwidth capacity allows for a faster response of applications and online services, improving the overall user experience.
• Support for economic growth and innovation. A more robust and high-performing network infrastructure promotes the development of new initiatives and digital projects in the region, reducing the need for specific investments.

This initiative confirms the joint commitment of VSIX and MIX to cooperate in shortening the distances between their respective connected network communities.
