(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Colocation and interconnection service provider Telx (www.telx.com) announced on Wednesday it has launched new Internet Exchanges in the New York and Dallas markets, giving customers a new, low-cost, single point of access method to interconnect with multiple carriers, service and content providers, financial exchanges, and enterprise networks.
The opening of the new Internet Exchanges gives customers a new, low-cost, single point of access method to interconnect with multiple carriers, service and content providers, financial exchanges, and enterprise networks.
The announcement follows Telx's recent partnership with hosted media communications provider IntelePeer, which lets service providers at Telx quickly roll out advanced hosted voice and telecommunications services.
Telx Internet Exchanges describes its faciltiies as "neutral, privately owned and managed packet and Internet exchanges that provide a high-performance Internet peering platform for participants."
TIE members typically reduce their operating costs by aggregating ISPs, content providers, enterprises and others on a single, highly available service platform.
This ensures that Internet traffic has direct access to destination networks, which eliminates the need for transit and facilitates greater communication between networks.
Telx is improving its peering capability in the two major, network-rich buildings at 60 Hudson Street and 111 8th Avenue.
The new international Internet Exchange has more than 400 service provider and enterprise customers located with Telx in these buildings, offering customers highly reliable and cost-efficient access to all of these service providers and enterprises.
In Dallas, a new exchange will let customers use peering services within 2323 Bryan and the Telx facility at 8345 Stemmons Freeway.
"Telx is fully committed to providing superior Internet Exchange points within its facilities, and as a result have chosen to launch the next phases of our Internet Exchanges in the New York and Dallas markets," says Michael Lucking, director of IP development and engineering for Telx. "These two markets are currently underserved in terms of high quality Internet Exchange points. We intend to make New York and Dallas true metropolitan exchanges."
Telx says the TIE platforms in New York and Dallas will be monitored around the clock and are currently accepting Ethernet connections.
The TIE service will be fully integrated into Telx's product and service portfolio, and as a result, customers in New York and Dallas now be able to purchase one-stop shopping solutions that includes space, power, and interconnectivity between networks as well as interconnectivity to the respective TIE platforms.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
