Updated By-Laws: Membership

Our Committee has recently updated the NZIX by-laws to introduce 6.4, which clarifies the voting rights of any exchange participant receiving complimentary services. The updated section reads as follows:

“Members who pay for their services, and are in good standing, will be classed as Full Members (see section 5.3 of the NZIX society rules), and will therefore have voting rights in the Society and may nominate to represent their organisation on the NZIX committee. Members shall be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter submitted to the Members. Members who receive services at no charge will be classed as Affiliate Members (see section 5.4 of the NZIX society rules) and will therefore have no voting rights in the Society and may not be nominated to represent their organisation on the NZIX committee.”

Members who would like more information on the Committee or by-laws can contact info@ix.nz

100G Coming Soon!

A major upgrade of our Auckland infrastructure is underway as we roll out a new offer to NZIX Members.

From mid 2019, we are planning to offer 40G and 100G ports at all three Auckland locations.

The proposed pricing is $1250 per month for a 40G or 100G port, with a once off installation fee of $2500. Members will need to supply their own optics for their own equipment.

We can also offer LACP bundles of 10G if required.

To express your interest in a 40G or 100G port please email info@ix.nz

New NZ metrics now live

For those who attended NZNOG this year, you will have heard about the massive growth experienced by NZIX over the past 12 months, with an 82% increase to traffic on the IX at peak.

Growth is only meaningful with the right analysis, so we are pleased to announce that New Zealand members can now access exclusive flow-based metrics data in the Members Portal.

Login and select the Metrics panel to view a breakdown of traffic flows by Peer . This new feature will enable members to make a more accurate assessment of the areas providing best value for their business and where they might be missing out.

Similar metrics analysis will be rolled out to Australian-based IX services over the next 9 months.

If you weren’t able to attend NZNOG you can catch Tim’s presentation here, and download the slides here. If you need assistance with portal access, or with any feedback please drop us a line to info@ix.nz

Holey Moley, alright!

It was great to see everyone tee off 2019 in style at our Holey Moley event in Aukland. The mood was festive and certainly worth the wait.

Did you putt your stuff through shark infested waters and pop culture references? We certainly improved our handicap as a result!

We hope you loved it as much as we did and look forward to our next catch up.

Hoods up for NZNOG!

How good was NZNOG? Great to see so many familiar faces and get up to speed on the latest industry developments across New Zealand. 

Did you score one of our sweet hoodies? And have you been anywhere cold enough to wear it yet? We’d love to see your best hoodie model snaps… see if you can match the professional poses of our models Kellie & Callum pictured here!

Bring up your session on Route Server 2

In August 2017 New Zealand Internet Exchange Inc brought in a second route server. Route Server 2 (RS2) offers our peers increased resilience should Route Server 1 (RS1) ever become isolated or fail. We’ve reached out to all our peers directly to bring up these new sessions, however there are a number of sessions yet to be established.

We’re encouraging all our peers to bring up their sessions on RS2 – special thanks to those that have already done so.

Address information for RS2 is as follows
(43.243.21.254 and 2001:07FA:0011:6:0:1DB6:0:2).

Do you need a hand? Reach out to our Support Team at peering@ix.nz if you need some assistance bringing up your session on RS2.
