Just before the General Meeting started, Claude Demuth, LU-CIX Secretary, highlighted the most recent evolutions operated at LU-CIX. He pointed out the fact that 8 new members joined LU-CIX ASBL in the last year, growing the effectives up to the record number of 72 companies now members of LU-CIX. As always, the last LU-CIX ASBL members were given the opportunity to introduce themselves and present their company to the audience. Important technical changes also happened over the year with a new Point of Presence at European Data Hub, the LuxConnect data center at Bissen was included in the ring infrastructure, POST Luxembourg upgraded its connexion with 2 x 100 GE and LuxNetwork upgraded to a 100 GE. With its renewed backbone and all the efforts here above, LU-CIX has reached traffic records during the last few months, representing twice as much as last year’s average traffic, with peaks over 134 Gbps.
The next big LU-CIX meeting will be on 13 & 14 November with its recognised annual event, the Luxembourg Internet Days to be held at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg-Kirchberg. The two hot topics that will be discussed will be “Network Security and Monitoring” and “Cloud Security”. The event will be accessible to any IT decision maker under registration and approval only.
