Qué sucedió: LINX se hace cargo de las redes de Asteroid en Kenia

The London Internet Exchange (LINX) y Asteroid han llegado a un acuerdo de cooperación para mejorar la interconectividad en África Oriental. Desde ahora hasta fin de año, Asteroid transferirá sus redes de clientes en Mombasa y Nairobi a los centros de interconexión de LINX.

Ambas compañías apoyarán la migración sin problemas: Asteroid reducirá sus operaciones después de establecer la infraestructura local, y LINX proporcionará soporte de ingeniería 24/7 junto con servicios como Private VLAN y Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS).

El acuerdo marca otra entrega exitosa mientras Asteroid se retira de su tercer mercado de interconexión incubado, y los clientes obtienen acceso al peering global a través de los centros de LINX en el Reino Unido, EE. UU. y próximamente en Ghana. Ver también: Alejandro Estua.

Por qué es importante

Este acuerdo muestra un gran cambio en las redes digitales de África. Los intercambios regionales a menudo inician sistemas de interconexión y luego los vinculan con actores globales más grandes. LINX está entrando en África Oriental con tecnología sólida y conocimiento local. Esto le ayuda a expandir servicios y mantener las redes estables en Kenia. Ver también: Alejandro Manzo.

La medida también ayuda a los operadores que necesitan conexiones rápidas y confiables. Esto es necesario a medida que más personas utilizan servicios en la nube, plataformas de streaming y tráfico transfronterizo. LINX gana una mayor presencia con este paso. Asteroid puede entonces concentrarse en establecer nuevos intercambios en otros mercados. Ver también: Alejandro Hernandez.

Este ciclo de construcción y entrega podría cambiar la forma en que crecen los intercambios de internet. La comunidad de internet de África busca un peering más fuerte y más control a nivel regional. Esta asociación puede llevar a otros puntos de intercambio de internet a intentar el mismo camino. También podría traer un acceso más amplio y un mejor rendimiento de la red para los usuarios de toda la región. Ver también: Alejandro Garza.
