Peer with our members via our resellers

If you are located in a data center/carrier PoP (in France, in a different country) not connected to France-IX peering platforms, you may peer remotely via our resellers.

This way you can benefit from France-IX peering without investing time and money into deploying your own infrastructure in the data centers where France-IX has deployed its network.

Benefits

Simple

End-to-end connectivity to France-IX through one supplier: your reseller provides, manages, supports and bills the member for all the remote peering services (transport packaged with peering services).

One-stop-shopping means one contract, one bill, one contact so less paperwork at the end of the day. You don’t need to sign any France-IX contract, you just sign with our reseller on their paperwork and we coordinate everything with them.

Keep in mind that you still have full membership rights with France-IX non-profit association (with the right to vote during the France-IX meetings), you have access to the same services as any other member and you still need your own Autonomous System Number to be able to peer.

Quick and easy process

No deployment of hardware or colocation means you can activate your connection in a matter of days, instead of weeks.

Once your contract is in place with our reseller (already connected to France-IX), your can benefit from short delays for the activation of the service.

The variety of connection packages allows you to upgrade easily and quickly and more importantly, to stay flexible.

Zero risk with no Capex required

There is no need to colocate your equipment in Paris and/or Marseille, you choose your traffic level in each France-IX peering platforms (Paris and/or Marseille) through your reseller.

The reseller connects to France-IX though GigE, 10 Gbps peering ports, which are either dedicated or shared via multiple VLANs between customers. Keep in mind resellers can not oversubscribe their port(s).
