July 2015 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Jaguar Network and the Open-IX Association announce that Jaguar Network’s JN MRS01 data center has been awarded the OPEN-IX® OIX-2 certification. By receiving this designation, Jaguar Network’s facility is the first international data center facility to meet the stringent requirements of this global standard.
The OPEN-IX OIX-2 certification is a hallmark to the technological excellence of the Jaguar Network site in Marseille, validating its quality, reliability and infrastructure security. The JN MRS01 data center, a major telecom hub, is ideally located for Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The OIX-2 certification singles out Jaguar Network as an internationally acclaimed strategic partner facilitating hosting and cloud computing operations for businesses worldwide seeking to effectively perform in the European market. The OIX-2 designation also ensures that the Marseille-based hosting infrastructure is fully compliant with specifications of the standard for the reduction of complexity that restricts interconnection in fragmented markets as well as the implementation of business-critical environments, international IP core networks or content platforms (CDN, cloud computing, etc.).
Organized and operated by volunteers from the Internet, the Open-IX Association aims to increase the reliability, resiliency and competitiveness of massive-scale interconnection for all. With the help of broad participation of interconnect and data center professionals, the association has successfully developed Internet Exchange and data center consensus-based community standards and certified 23 data centers and five exchanges since its establishment in 2013.
