As new technology and trends emerge throughout the industry, Internet traffic is increasing at staggering rates. In fact, according to Statista, global IP traffic consumers are projected to exchange an average of more than 60,000 petabytes (or 60M terabytes) of data per month throughout 2015 – a number expected to increase to over 100,000 petabytes by 2018. In today’s market, it’s important for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to implement cost-effective, resilient networking solutions that enable them to deliver their services quickly and reliably to end-users across the globe.
In order to meet these growing demands and ensure resilient, reliable and cost-effective Internet service delivery for customers, Amsterdam Internet Exchange (AMS-IX) deploys Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) around the world. Branching out from its Amsterdam location, AMS-IX’s US subsidiary, AMS-IX USA, has launched IX platforms in the San Francisco Bay Area, New York and Chicago to extend its IXP and peering benefits to customers stateside.
AMS-IX recently onboarded industry veteran Phil Matte to help grow its brand across the nation and around the world. Bringing to AMS-IX more than 25 years of decorated sales leadership in the Information Technology and Telecommunications sectors, Mr. Matte will serve as the new Sales Director of AMS-IX USA Inc. Joining AMS-IX from his previous position at Spread Networks, LLC, Mr. Matte’s extensive skills and experience will be utilized within the AMS-IX community to develop sales strategies and lead sales efforts for AMS-IX Bay Area, AMS-IX New York and AMS-IX Chicago. Prior to serving as Director of National Accounts for Spread, Mr. Matte held sales management roles at Voiance Language Services, CoreLink Data Centers and Switch and Data (formerly Palo Alto Internet Exchange (PAIX)).
