Boosting network performance: Peering at DE-CIX Frankfurt from Tokyo

Remote peering is a great solution for network operators seeking to expand their reach beyond their physical footprint. It’s especially valuable for targeting specific networks or content providers that are not available at your local Internet Exchange.

Tokyo-based Internet service provider (ISP) BIGLOBE, which offers Internet access, network solutions, digital content, and applications to private and business customers, is now taking advantage of this. The ISP is connected to DE-CIX Frankfurt via their existing access port in Tokyo and uses GlobePEER Remote to connect to European eyeball and content networks that peer g at DE-CIX Frankfurt.

Shorter data paths with remote peering

By directly connecting to these networks, BIGLOBE shortens data paths and improves service quality – especially for streaming and cloud-based applications. At the same time, they reduce costs and boost the resilience of their network.

Setting up remote peering at DE-CIX is easy: You peer over a VLAN on your existing access, and we will take care of all the necessary interconnects and the access at the additional location. You get a fully redundant service with predictable latency and jitter values, and there is no extra hardware costs or hassle with importing IT equipment.
