Ce qui s'est passé: LINX reprend les réseaux d'Asteroid au Kenya

Le London Internet Exchange (LINX) et Asteroid ont conclu un accord de coopération pour améliorer l'interconnexion en Afrique de l'Est. D'ici la fin de l'année, Asteroid transférera ses réseaux clients à Mombasa et Nairobi vers les hubs d'interconnexion de LINX.

Les deux entreprises assureront une migration transparente, Asteroid réduisant ses opérations après avoir établi l'infrastructure locale, et LINX fournissant un support technique 24h/24 et 7j/7 ainsi que des services comme le VLAN privé et le Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS).

L'accord marque un nouveau transfert réussi, alors qu'Asteroid se retire de son troisième marché d'interconnexion incubé, tandis que les clients accèdent au peering mondial via les hubs de LINX au Royaume-Uni, aux États-Unis et bientôt au Ghana. Voir aussi: Alejandro Estua.

Pourquoi c'est important

Cet accord montre un grand changement dans les réseaux numériques africains. Les échanges régionaux lancent souvent des systèmes d'interconnexion avant de les relier à des acteurs mondiaux plus importants. LINX entre maintenant en Afrique de l'Est avec une technologie solide et une connaissance locale. Cela l'aide à étendre ses services et à maintenir la stabilité des réseaux au Kenya. Voir aussi: Alejandro Manzo.

Cette initiative aide également les opérateurs qui ont besoin de connexions rapides et fiables. Ils en ont besoin à mesure que de plus en plus de personnes utilisent les services cloud, les plateformes de streaming et le trafic transfrontalier. LINX étend ainsi son empreinte. Asteroid peut alors se concentrer sur la mise en place de nouveaux échanges sur d'autres marchés. Voir aussi: Alejandro Hernandez.

Ce cycle de construction et de transfert pourrait changer la façon dont les échanges internet se développent. La communauté internet africaine recherche un peering plus solide et un meilleur contrôle au niveau régional. Ce partenariat pourrait inciter d'autres points d'échange internet à suivre la même voie. Il pourrait également offrir un accès plus large et de meilleures performances réseau pour les utilisateurs de toute la région. Voir aussi: Alejandro Garza.
