Technical Training Opportunity at TOC Conference in Fargo
by Shaun Carlson 04 May '16

04 May '16

All, CCI/Cisco are hosting a technical training, designed to be more of a deep dive, at the TOC conference in Fargo next week. There is no cost for the training except for registration for the conference itself. Attached is the flyer CCI created for this opportunity and the link to register for the session is right in there. If you're headed up for the conference, consider attending or sending someone to the session. This is my first run at bringing some deeper technical training to the region and I'm hoping to see it well attended. Thanks! s *Shaun Carlson*Director of Information Technology | Arvig ph: (218) 346-8673 | em: shaun.carlson(a)arvig.com

Montreal Internet Exchange Reaches Milestone
by Mike Hemphill 15 Apr '16

15 Apr '16

All, Thought you would find this interesting relative to where MICE is at. I see that the peak last week was north of 72Gig and I count over 65 members. You are doing great things! Congrats!!! Mike Montreal Internet Exchange Reaches Milestone On Path To New Peaks, Reinforcing The Value Of Independent Internet Exchange Model Cologix Inc. April 13, 2016 8:10 AM QIX attracts 50 peering members who realize localized, optimized network performance and reduced costs DENVER and MONTREAL , April 13, 2016 /CNW/ -- Network, content and Internet service providers continue to ramp up interest in the independent, member-run Internet exchange model employed by the Montreal Internet Exchange (www.qix.ca <http://www.qix.ca/> ) <http://www.qix.ca/> , a nonprofit organization working to create a more robust, high-performing Internet in the province of Quebec . QIX recently reached 50 peering members, including some of the largest content providers and cloud service providers in the world. "It has been immensely gratifying to see QIX establish itself as a key exchange point, with traffic peaking over 35 gigabits per second (Gbps)," commented QIX Board of Directors Chair and Interconnection Relations at Google Inc. Sylvie LaPerriere . "This progress underscores the value of QIX as an important component of the Internet fabric serving Eastern Canada and the growth of traffic localization at the Internet's edge. QIX members are finding accelerated traffic flow, reduced IP transit costs and enhanced data sovereignty through the peering arrangements facilitated by QIX. The strong upticks in membership levels and aggregate traffic are a testament to the significance of Montreal on the overall network map." QIX launched in April 2013 with nodes at both 625 and 1250 Rene-Levesque Boulevard West and support from the Quebec Scientific Information Network (RISQ) and Cologix. QIX traffic is exchanged locally in Quebec , while non-QIX Internet traffic that originates in Quebec is often routed to major networking hubs like Chicago and New York City , then back to the enduser in Quebec . This inefficient routing often diminishes network performance and the user experience while increasing latency, costs and risk. "The success of QIX has created a new institution for the benefit of the Internet community in Montreal , which is a model for independent Internet Exchanges in markets across North America ," commented Cologix Chief Operating Officer Graham Williams . "Cologix is a proud supporter of QIX, especially because of the value the exchange delivers to the local Montreal economy and broader Canadian tech infrastructure." About Cologix Inc. Cologix provides reliable, secure, scalable data center and interconnection solutions from 24 prime interconnection locations across 9 strategic North American edge markets.
