Equinix, announced that Internet Multifeed Co. (MF), an Internet Exchange provider and operator of the Japan Network Access Point (JPNAP), has expanded the JPNAP peering exchange into Equinix's Tokyo-4 International Business Exchange data center, located in Otemachi, Tokyo.
MF will establish a point-of-presence for the JPNAP service in TY4, Equinix's newest IBX data center in Tokyo.
This expansion provides customers with the ability to create new or expand existing peering relationships with a greater number of participants and exchange IP traffic at a single location through JPNAP and the Equinix Internet Exchange (EIE).
Through access to Equinix's dense network ecosystem in Tokyo and over 950 network providers globally, customers can manage the exchange of traffic more efficiently and accelerate the delivery of their services in a cost effective way.
MF provides a network-neutral Internet exchange platform that allows customers to interconnect directly with a wide range of network providers. Since establishing JPNAP's peering exchange in Equinix's Tokyo-2 (TY2) data center in 2009, MF has enabled seamless, efficient exchange of local and international Internet traffic. This latest expansion further reinforces the proposition to provide superior quality of content delivery for end users in Japan.
Tokyo is Asia's largest Internet hub with Internet traffic predicted to reach 3.5 terabytes in 2013 and grow at a staggering compound annual growth rate of 44% from 2009 to 20131.
