Netnod launches "Netnod Reach"!
Netnod has for a while been looking at various options to make it more affordable for more people to join Netnod. This would enable more network operators to make use of the natural location for the exchange of traffic in northern Europe. So it's with great joy we at Netnod today are launching Netnod Reach as a way to connect to Netnod without having to buy a port on the switch and locate a router in Stockholm. There are two part to the service. First of all Netnod Reach resellers that will buy discounted 10G ports at the IX. These ports can be used to resell up to 10x1GE VLANs (or pseudo-wire connections) into the Netnod switches. The resellers will have a contract with Netnod and we will invoice the resellers per additional remote 1GE connection. The resellers will through the Netnod customer portal be able to configure the new Reach ports themselves.
The launch date of Netnod Reach will be 1 september, and the service will only be available in Stockholm.
