January 12, 2005 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation provider IXEurope (ixeurope.com) said on Thursday that it had launched IXLAN, a service that enables its customers to connect to each other over ethernet networks.
IXLAN, part of the company’s IXConnect family of products, is a monthly subscription-based product that offers 10MB, 100MB, 1GB and 10GB port connections.
Subscribers to the service can buy or sell services and peer with any IXEurope customer connected to the same IXLAN. They also have the option of connecting to a single data center, data centers in a single country or all of IXEurope’s data centers.
The company says IXLAN will help customers reduce costs and increase data speeds.
“As an innovative and customer-focused company, IXEurope continues to develop new services as the market and our customer base evolves,” says Guy Willner, CEO of IXEurope. “Over the past year, customers have become more sophisticated in the services they require to run their networks. With our new IXLAN service, customers are now able to access a much broader range of services beyond the offering of most single-network service providers. We have seen enormous interest as we start to implement the networks in the UK, Germany and Switzerland.”
