Spotlight on PCCW Global: Console Connect’s IXaaS Now Available at NJFX CLS

Enables new levels of flexibility and agility with remote peering

August 16, 2022

Long time NJFX partner, PCCW Global continues to drive value and increased capabilities to the NJFX ecosystem and beyond. After launching its Console Connect platform at NJFX last year, which enabled global on-demand connectivity, PCCW Global is now offering its new IX-as-a-Service (IXaaS) to global carriers and enterprises through Console Connect.

This new capability is available to customers at NJFX’s CLS colocation campus and offers access to leading IX platforms including DE-CIX, LINX, HKIX, SGIX, KINX and JPNAP. IXaaS offers easy, fast and flexible ways to order, provision and pay for IX services from some of the world’s largest Internet Exchanges (IXs).

“There are no limits to what NJFX customers and partners can do, and that dynamic is exemplified by Console Connect’s new IXaaS. Through the company’s unique MeetingPlace, users can connect, buy, and sell a variety of services including cloud, SaaS, UCaaS and IoT. This creates tremendous optionality and further enhances our unique CLS ecosystem by meeting increased demand for rapid provisioning of on-demand, superior interconnection services.” –  Felix Seda, General Manager of NJFX

  • Experience high-performance remote peering with multiple exchanges across the world
