REDWOOD CITY, Calif.,
Aug. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the global
interconnection and data center company, today announced that
Telnyx, a leading provider of wholesale VoIP services, has
partnered with Equinix to expand Telnyx's high-performance VoIP
platform to Europe and
Asia. By deploying an Interconnection Oriented
ArchitectureTM (IOA™) with Equinix Performance Hub™ at
the core, Telnyx is able to rapidly expand its network into
Europe and Asia while dramatically improving overall
network performance by more than 60 percent. As a part of
this deployment, Telnyx is adding Performance Hub nodes in Equinix
London and Hong Kong International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data
centers.
Telnyx provides a cloud-based platform – Telephony Engine (TE) –
that enables managed service providers and enterprises to buy
wholesale telecommunications services, a la carte via their Mission
Control portal and API. This cost-effective platform for VoIP
services has grown significantly across North America, and now customers have turned
to Telnyx to provide this service at a global scale. While
VoIP can be a convenient and cost-effective communications
strategy, in order for it to be truly beneficial, it must meet
strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. By working with
Equinix and deploying TE across a global Equinix Performance Hub,
Telnyx was able to meet the demands of its customers while reducing
average transmission latency by 16 percent and average network
'jitter' by 62 percent.
Highlights / Key Facts
- Equinix Performance Hub – an extension of a company's network
into Equinix IBX data centers – is a solution that uniquely
combines elements of data centers, networking infrastructure, and
cloud computing access to improve application performance and
deliver a globally consistent quality of experience to end users.
Because Telnyx TE optimizes the route choice for each of its call
sessions and routes it to the nearest infrastructure node, it was
crucial for Telnyx to have Performance Hub nodes in key markets
worldwide.
- Telnyx worked with Equinix to establish a five-node network
connecting its three existing Performance Hub deployments in
Chicago, Washington D.C. and Silicon Valley to those in
London and Hong Kong. This enabled a powerful combination
of the distributed TE architecture and seamless access to major
Tier-1 internet service providers (ISPs) and cloud service
providers (CSPs) wherever Telnyx deployed. Now customers will
likely enter the network and have their call processed at the
closest physical point of presence (POP) within their geographic
region, ensuring the same, high-performance QoE regardless of
location.

Network. Telnyx enables its customers to "Be Their Own Carrier®"

telecommunications services a la carte, and to scale services up

traditional offering, providing not only termination and toll-free
