IP Transit Providers

“It is crucial that we are able to maintain our operations at all times. We have high traffic on our network 24/7 and we need confidence that our network and connections will be robust and redundant. Orixcom were able to offer us a connection in Equinix DX1 for significantly less than any other solution that was available on the market and we are very pleased with their service.”

Challenges

  • An airline never stops, and Flydubai needed to always ensure maximum availability of their applications
  • To de-risk loss of service, Flydubai needed a diverse, stable, high-capacity internet bandwidth that would be available in the event of an outage
  • Existing IP providers lack the peering relationships and redundant global connectivity required for Flydubai’s applications

Solution

Orixcom identified IP Transit as the ideal solution to meet the Flydubai's growing need for reliable, high-performance internet connectivity. By leveraging IP Transit, they were able to ensure uninterrupted operations, both within the region and on a global scale, regardless of potential network disruptions. Key benefits of the solution:

1. Low Latency and Redundant Connectivity
Orixcom IP Transit offers low-latency connections, providing fast and efficient data transfer across networks. This is critical for businesses that rely on real-time applications, such as video conferencing, financial transactions, or cloud-based services. In addition to its speed, the solution ensures redundancy, meaning that in the event of an outage, traffic is automatically rerouted to prevent any disruptions. This failsafe connectivity applies both regionally and globally, delivering constant uptime and robust business continuity.

2. Extensive Peering Relationships
One of the core strengths of Orixcom's IP Transit solution is its extensive network of peering relationships. These connections, both regionally and internationally, allow for direct data exchange with multiple internet service providers (ISPs) and content delivery networks (CDNs). As a result, businesses benefit from enhanced network efficiency, reduced hops, and lower latency when accessing content or services from around the world. Orixcom’s peering ensures optimal routes for data, enhancing the quality and speed of the internet experience for end-users.

3. Reliable Performance at Equinix DX1
Orixcom's IP Transit service is delivered through Equinix DX1 and now DX3, one of the premier data centres in the UAE region. Equinix is known for its advanced infrastructure, offering fast and reliable internet connectivity. By utilising this world-class facility, Orixcom provides a highly reliable IP Transit service that meets the demanding needs of enterprises looking for scalable, secure, and high-performance internet access. The strategic placement of Orixcom’s infrastructure within Equinix DX1 further guarantees superior network performance, supporting rapid growth and global reach.
