NZNOG 2021?

After being postponed, the NOG finally took place in May! It was a great couple of days starting with Dan Faulknor’s Bootstraping an ISP and finishing with Liam Farr’s Starlink Hacks – Hardware is Hard Easy. With a good turnout, we managed to catch up with a few members and handed out some of our […]

A Notable Jump in Traffic

Recently, CHC-IX has seen more content members deploy, and our traffic levels have shot up to peaks of ~14Gbps. We expect growth to continue with more content providers coming onboard, providing local access to a plethora of content so users can access their favourite content across shorter paths.

Chair’s Update

I am excited to report the continual growth of our newer exchanges – WLG-IX and CHC-IX – both hitting new record speeds in February. It’s great to see these regional exchanges continue to grow, and as they do so, they will have the potential to attract more local cloud infrastructure. NZIX continues to work with […]

CHC-IX Chorus EdgeConnect Member Survey

We’re keen to get your feedback about our Chorus EdgeConnect peering service. Launched back in November 2020, we created this service in collaboration with Chorus, to enable Chorus customers to communicate directly with other NZIX members on the same exchange despite a physical connection to NZIX exchange switches. The survey contains three questions and will […]
