Services: FreeBIX Peering Exchange
FreeBIX added value
Your network is a critical part of your business and has a deep and lasting impact on your company reputation. With FreebIX you have the ability to manage your bandwidth costs on a scalable and performance driven platform.
FreeBIX Peering Exchange
The FreeBIX peering platform provides an open and public platform for members to exchange traffic. Commonly known as "Public Peering",
this is the easiest and most effective form of exchanging traffic between independent networks.
As all the members of the peering platform are
connected to the same network segment, you are able to connect to all the members without the need to create a physical interconnet between all your peering
partners as FreeBIX provides this to you in the form of our peering platform.
