AMS-IX Publishes Real-Time Network Performance Using Accedian SolutionLive network data from AMS-IX empowers customers to optimize their own connectivity based on traffic, performance, price, and other variables MONTREAL, Oct. 11, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - 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. See the AMS-IX stats in action on their live feed (shows actual values from a single measurement—selected by the user—refreshed every 5 seconds or 1 minute for frame loss), and visit Accedian's Web Library to learn more about the performance assurance technology that supports this capability.
