25 November 2015 - 10:00PM
ChinaCache International Holdings Ltd. ("ChinaCache" or the
"Company") (Nasdaq:CCIH), the leading total solutions provider of
Internet content and application delivery services in China, today
announced that it entered into a strategic agreement ("Agreement")
with AMS-IX (Amsterdam Internet Exchange), a Netherlands-based
independent Internet Exchange, to develop the first Internet
Exchange in Mainland China.
The Internet Exchange branded "CHN-IX" is expected to be built,
owned and managed by ChinaCache to serve internet content providers
(ICPs) and internet service providers (ISPs) in China with
effective interconnect and peering services. Pursuant to the
Agreement, AMS-IX will give consultancy on platform design, and
will provide a proven infrastructure management and customer portal
software. The partnership is exclusive and aimed at ensuring a
world-class service to the customers of CHN-IX.
The company plans to establish CHN-IX at the ChinaCache Atecsys
Data Center located within the Shunyi tax free zone near Beijing
Capital international airport initially, to be followed by a node
in Zhongguancun, Haidian District of Beijing, and with a plan to
potentially expand into additional locations. Atecsys is the
largest cloud computing data center campus in Beijing and offers
over 80,000 square meters of customer space. Zhongguancun is known
as "China's Silicon Valley", center of advanced technology and
emerging industries. CHN-IX is expected to start serving customers
in the fourth quarter of 2015.
"AMS-IX is the largest Internet Exchange in the world in terms
of the number of parties connected, and we are very pleased to
leverage their knowledge and expertise to build the first
professional Internet Exchange in Mainland China," said Song Wang,
founder, Chairman and CEO of ChinaCache. "Their involvement in
combination with our state-of-the-art facility will enable CHN-IX
to provide our customers with a high-quality interconnection
service from day one. CHN-IX also underscores our dedication to
support the government's Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation, One
Belt, One Road initiative, while improving connectivity and
collaboration."
"With China's ever increasing volumes of internet traffic, this
initiative will support the more efficient delivery of content to
end-users within China," said Job Witteman, CEO of AMS-IX. "We are
very proud to support the development of one of the first Internet
Exchanges in China using our expertise in running world-class
interconnection platforms. This partnership with ChinaCache further
underlines the growing collaboration between the Netherlands and
China."
