RETN joins BCIX Partner Program

RETN has joined the BCIX Partner Program to provide its customers with remote peering to the leading IXP of Berlin and the Eastern Germany area. The official partner status enables RETN to offer BCIX peering services to its wholesale and corporate clients at more than 150 locations over RETN’s global network.

The BCIX platform with its neutral peering policy is distributed over 6 data centers in Berlin and offers a wide range of peering products, allowing each BCIX member to interconnect with a well sorted peer variation of German access providers, large content networks, enterprise customers and many others. The cooperation between RETN and BCIX will bring distant peers from both parties closer together enabling them to benefit from remote peering in Germany.

“We are delighted to partner up with BCIX. This fast growing IXP is a reliable peering platform for many German and international customers as well as the focal point for peering in Berlin and the surrounding area. We are sure that our partnership will be mutually beneficial and open new opportunities to RETN’s customers to establish effective peering relationships, providing improved traffic routing with reduced overheads,” Tony O’Sullivan, Managing Director, RETN Ltd.

“BCIX is happy to start this cooperation with such a valuable interconnection partner as RETN. RETN will enhance BCIX’s reachability into Russia and many Eurasian countries and will enable peers from those countries to interconnect easily to the bustling capital of Germany,” Christian Kroeger, Member of the board, BCIX.
