The London Internet Exchange (LINX) starts the new year with a bang by relocating to new offices in central London.
LINX has outgrown its current location on Tooley Street near London Bridge so is moving to larger premises on nearby Borough High Street.
The move provides LINX with additional space to test equipment, stage press briefings and provide a more comfortable environment for staff.
The growth of LINX over the five years since LINX opened its London office on Tooley Street has been little short of staggering. At the beginning of 2002 peak traffic figures stood at just 13.5 Gb/s with membership numbering just 120.
In the mean time traffic has rocketed more than 10 fold and membership has more than doubled. The latter is particularly remarkable when considering the number mergers and acquisitions in the industry since that time.
LINX sales & marketing manager Vanessa Evans said: “At our current level of growth, LINX can confidently target a membership of in excess of 250 and peak Internet traffic of over 200 Gb/s by the end of the year. The move to Borough High Street indicates the continued expansion of LINX and our focus to be at the forefront of the industry for many years to come.”
