Cilix, a leading UK-managed service provider, has announced its latest collaboration as a reseller partner with the London Internet Exchange (LINX). This partnership signifies a strategic step for Cilix as it embarks on expanding its connectivity services.

Under this agreement, Cilix has acquired two reseller ports at LINX in London, one on the LON1 fabric and another on LON2. This dual setup promises to bolster resilience and redundancy, ensuring enhanced service for Cilix's clientele.

London's Dual LAN Infrastructure, operated by LINX, serves as a foundation where numerous IXP member networks connect to both platforms. This dual connectivity is crucial for accessing unique peers in London and ensuring diversity in routing options.

Cilix's involvement in the ConneXions Reseller Programme now enables its customer base to access advanced peering services. Additionally, these services tap into LINX’s interconnection offerings, all streamlined through a single cross connect. Particularly appealing is the Microsoft Azure Peering Service (MAPS), which provides low-latency connectivity to Microsoft's cloud solutions like Teams and Office 365.

“LINX’s reputation for reliability and extensive peering ecosystem made them the obvious choice for Cilix. The reseller partnership enables us to provide our customers with premium internet exchange services...” commented Warren Hall, Network Architect Cilix. 

By engaging in this reseller programme, Cilix aims to extend LINX's peering LANs' reach. This is especially beneficial for networks lacking a physical presence in a LINX-enabled metro, as it allows them seamless access.

Such collaborations enhance connectivity choices for Cilix's customers while also contributing to the robustness and growth of the global internet framework.

The sentiment was echoed by Colin Peckham, a Partner & Interconnection Specialist for LINX, who remarked on the enthusiasm for having Cilix onboard. He highlighted the shared ethos of furthering the Internet's capabilities, focusing on low-latency services and optimal routing paths.
