IXEurope Upgrades TIX Internet Exchange in Zurich

Adds Foundry Big Iron 8000 switch in the Zurich 2 IXDatacenter and incorporates a second physical location, TIX2.

IXEurope, a provider of outsourced datacenter services, today announced that it has upgraded TIX Internet Exchange in Zurich.
 
According to the company, the addition of a Foundry Big Iron 8000 switch in the Zurich 2 IXDatacenter will allow IXEurope customers to take resilient connections to the TIX infrastructure. Owned by IXEurope since April 2001, with 60 ISPs, TIX works as a central hub for all Swiss internet traffic. Currently, TIX is running at 3Gigabits per second peak peering rates. The upgrade incorporates a second physical location, TIX2, which provides increased capacity, space for expansion and the ability to create redundant peering to increase resilience.
