AMS-IX Publishes Real-Time Network Performance Using Accedian Solution

MONTREAL, October 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Live AMS-IX network data empowers customers to optimize connectivity based on traffic, performance, and price 

For AMS-IX, network performance transparency and service level agreement (SLA) assurance recently reached a new milestone. The Dutch IP traffic exchange platform-located in Amsterdam and used by large ISPs, fixed and mobile operators, content providers and other communications companies across the world-is now able to publicly publish its own connectivity performance. This transparency is made possible using technology from Accedian, the end-to-end network performance experts, to monitor and measure the performance of the AMS-IX IP network.

AMS-IX is using Accedian's solution to provide customers with service level agreement (SLA) reports and real-time statistics, through a web-based portal. This empowers users of the traffic exchange to check if their SLAs are being met, and to verify reliability of the platform.
