About us
The Internet platform behind millions of businesses.
20 years ago we started NL-ix and decided to not only connect the main datacenters in the large hubs but also bring our IX to the doorstep of regional datacenters. By doing so we offered smaller and medium-sized networks easy access to our Peering platform. This gave birth to our distributed Internet Exchange.
We quickly recognised that our customer interconnection needs stretched beyond public Peering alone, and developed a complete portfolio of interconnection services. This meant that as well as Peering we could also offer partial & full Transit as well as inter-datacenter Transport services on a single port.
A key factor in this of course was, and still is, our resilient low-latency network that made the instant Europe-wide exchange and transportation of traffic possible. Today our complete portfolio is directly available in over 100 datacenters in Europe. Our portfolio of services and real-time tools continues to grow; NL-ix Transit is now a hybrid IX/IP service giving customers the best of both worlds; Elastic Interconnect is a complete suite of interconnection services for enterprises; and our cloud connections continue to grow, giving customers complete control of their Cloud and SaaS connectivity.

Be the Internet
As digital transformation has gathered pace and workloads and transactions have shifted to the cloud, we have found that more and more businesses want to make the move from being an Internet ‘user’ to becoming part of the Internet. How else can they reach their end-users and customers, enable workers at home and on the move, and plug in, power and protect their business-critical apps?
As a business with 20 years of experience in bringing networks together, we can help organisations of all sizes make this transition. We know the Internet inside out, and after all these years we still love it. Which is why “be the Internet” is our vision, both for us and our customers. It summarises the ambition we have: to help customers become a part of the Internet, enjoy all the advantages this brings, and take control of their Digital Future
