The partnership is just a part of the growth strategy of Redbus Interhouse Netherlands, which has seen a year-on-year growth of 83 percent in revenues. After meeting the requirements detailed in the AMS-IX partner program, Redbus Interhouse can pass on to its customers the advantages of being an AMS-IX partner.

These benefits include lower upstream connectivity costs through the ability to interconnect and exchange IP traffic directly with other AMS-IX members, and the easy and relatively inexpensive exchange of IP traffic at a national and international level through BGP peerings, as the bulk of Dutch ISPs and additional international ISPs are members of AMS-IX.

“This relationship is beneficial to both companies,” says Cara Mascini, marketing manager for AMS-IX. “For AMS-IX, it adds value in further developing the peering platform, while our services are an advantageous addition to Redbus Interhouse’s own portfolio.”
