Live from the GNE MainStage, Rakesh Bachoe, Head of Design & Development, AMS-IX, Chris Dietzel, Head of Products & Innovation, DE-CIX, and Richard Petrie, CTO, LINX share how years of collaboration on automated interconnection are helping shape a more standardized approach for the industry. By bringing proven IX capabilities into the Mplify LSO API ecosystem, they see an opportunity to simplify how interconnection is consumed, expand adoption, and support emerging connectivity demands across the digital ecosystem. Hear what it takes to turn proven innovation into an industry-wide model.

In this Executives at the Edge episode, executives from AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and LINX explore these topics and more:

  • Why are internet exchanges evolving beyond traditional peering?
  • How can the IX-API and Mplify LSO APIs come together without duplicating existing work?
  • What can standardized APIs do to simplify the consumption of interconnection services?
  • How could automated interconnection expand from service providers to enterprise users?
  • What role can internet exchanges play in connecting distributed data, compute, and AI infrastructure?
  • How can industry collaboration accelerate adoption across the broader interconnection ecosystem?
