IP traffic is continuing to increase across both private networks as well as the public Internet. This is forcing networks like those found at Internet Exchanges (IX) to dramatically scale the backbone.

This application demands a next-generation, scalable, high-performance Ethernet platform. Last generation platforms optimised for 10/100Mbps connections to GE trunks just don't live up to the needs of these networks. What's needed now is a platform that supports lots of GE connections to 10GE trunks. What's needed is a 10x improvement in performance and scalability over these last generation platforms and Force10 is the only company delivering that level of improvement today.

We are a passionately innovative company focused on enabling our customers to scale their networks to the next level, and are very happy to be the sponsor of the second Euro-IX Forum.

“Kicking the tyres of colocation - beyond the brouchureware”

Many facilities profess to have redundant systems in place to meet the customer expectations of providing a true N+1 environment. Start reading behind the lines of the brochure and not all what it seems! Redbus Interhouse takes you beyond the brochure and points at the pitfalls the customers really miss.

This workshop will update members on the current status of IPv6 at AMS-IX, call to the members to ask if they have anything to discuss on this topic of IPv6 and a discussion on the issue of IPv6 address space for IXPs.
