ESpanix will also leverage Nokia's photonic services switch to optimize bandwidth across its optical transport network, enabling the IXP to select the most efficient solution for its customers' needs.
This layered network approach ensures scalability for larger customers and supports ESpanix's goals of expanding its footprint and developing its infrastructure. All ESpanix points of presence have been upgraded to 400G and are operational as of today.
The upgrade project addresses the growing demand for sustainable, high-capacity network services across ESpanix's more than 180 connected networks, including Internet service providers (ISPs), content service providers, and national and international carriers.
Amedeo Beck Peccoz, Strategy Director at ESpanix, commented: “Our customers demand reliable, future-proof technology. Nokia’s solutions offer the capacity and scalability we need to meet growing demand, enabling us to deliver 400G connectivity to our members. With Nokia’s support, we not only become the most advanced IXP in Southern Europe, but our joint work also aligns with our commitment to sustainability by reducing energy consumption compared to traditional solutions.”
Matthieu Bourguignon, senior vice president and head of Nokia's network infrastructure business in Europe, said: “Offering 400G connectivity is a testament to ESpanix’s progressive approach to interconnection services. As a leading provider of IXP services, our collaboration ensures they can meet growing demand in a simple, efficient, and sustainable way. By leveraging Nokia’s high-capacity IP network technologies, ESpanix is paving the way for a new standard in IXP services in Southern Europe.”
