Cloud, Peering & Data Center Interconnect‐ All in one port.
MASS IX is more than just a peering point. Our carrier grade infrastructure allows you to converge internet, transport and direct connections to cloud providers all through a single Ethernet port.
Service providers can also utilize the MASS IX platform to sell connectivity & network access products to other participants.
Pricing & Sign-Up
Interconnection Services
MASS IX offers interconnection services using the following MEF defined EVC types.
Packetsurge™ Port is required on both A and Z sides to provision an EVC.
EVC Port Scales
MASS IX does not charge monthly fees on EVCs‐ instead, each purchased port comes with a pack of included EVCs as shown below. If a port has run out of EVC scale, you'll need to upgrade or purchase another port to achieve higher scale.
To create a layer-2 point-to-point link (e.g. data center interconnect), order two Packetsurge™ Ports and request an EVC between them.
