"The reason MINIX 3 didn't dominate the world has to do with one mistake I made about 1992. At that time I thought BSD was going to take over the world. It was a mature and stable system. I didn't see any point in competing with it, so I focused MINIX on education." 1/4

Have you ever thought about how 10 Tb/s of peak traffic is transported? It’s all thanks to a few unassuming cables grouped together, tirelessly doing their job behind the scenes. But where are these unsung heroes housed? At NL-ix, they’re safeguarded within secure customer suites at all core locations. 🌐🔒

These suites aren’t just closed-off areas in a datacenter—they’re fortified sanctuaries for critical infrastructure, accessible only to authorised personnel. This ensures that the vital work of these cables, transporting unimaginable amounts of data every second, happens in a controlled and secure environment.

So, while those humble wires are busy keeping the world connected, NL-ix ensures they’re safe, secure, and free from unauthorised interruptions. The next time you think about the vast amount of data flowing through the world, remember: it’s not just about the cables—it’s also about the commitment to protecting them. 🚀

Reaching 10 Tb/s isn’t just about a number; it’s a direct result of our high-capacity infrastructure and rigorous commitment to network optimisation, reliability, and low-latency performance. This capacity ensures seamless data exchange at scale, supporting the increasing demands of our members and the critical workloads that depend on us.

A distributed internet exchange model isn't the traditional setup we're familiar with, but it offers significant advantages over a local exchange. Excited to learn how?

NL-ix and @nokia have teamed up to deploy Deepfield, marking a breakthrough pan-European anti-DDoS solution for enterprises across Europe! The introduction of Deepfield Defender in NL-ix’s network is an absolute game-changer in the evolution of security, where Nokia Deepfield Defender detects DDoS using AI and drives mitigation directly in the NL-ix network on the Nokia FP5-based routers. The result? A major leap forward in securing our digital landscape!
