The France-IX exchange point is built on an associative model allowing a better involvement of the connected members in the major orientations of the IXP but especially a neutrality.
Our exchange point is therefore based on an association under the French law of 1901, to which all members are de facto members, and on an SAS in charge of the operational aspects (billing, supervision, technical support).
The France-IX association is a 100% shareholder of SAS France-IX Services. As such, any important technical or financial evolution will be submitted to the approval of the members of the association.
In order to reinforce its growth and after 10 years of existence, France-IX is taking a new step in its development and is now positioned as a multi-service platform.
France-IX is launching new services for businesses and expanding its scope of activities through interconnection, hosting and infrastructure management services.
France-IX meets the expectations of its members who want to benefit from integrated services for greater simplicity, flexibility and mutualization of both infrastructures and costs, while meeting the challenges of data and flow management.
The explosion of data exchanges forces companies to optimize the management of their flows. This management requires an optimal Internet connection and control of data hosting. Between peering, its initial activity, and its new interconnection, hosting and infrastructure management services, France-IX is able to respond to these business issues.
By using all of France-IX's services and being connected to the platform, organizations can benefit from its advantages, which are not only time and cost savings, but also state-of-the-art technical expertise.
By connecting to France-IX, you can access all the connectivity, infrastructure and support services available from our PoPs and VPoPs. All the services of our marketplace providers are also at your fingertips, via your single connection port.

Founded in June 2010 by Akamai, Bouygues Telecom, Google, InterXion, Jaguar Network and Neo Telecom (now Zayo France) with the support of the French Internet community, France-IX's primary mission is to be the neutral federating exchange point for telecom and cloud operators in France.
With offices in Paris, Lyon and Marseille, France-IX's mission is to enable all of its customers (more than 500 to date) to benefit from a very wide range of services focused on optimizing data exchanges and transfers. France-IX interconnects several hundred local, regional and global players in France (telecom operators, ISPs, content providers and cloud infrastructure providers) and today addresses all types of companies wishing to optimize their costs and their Internet connectivity. France-IX's mission is to develop excellence in the implementation of its services.
France-IX invests regularly in its infrastructure and in the training of its technicians and engineers in order to deliver optimum quality services to its customers. Finally, France-IX's mission is to promote the values on which it is founded: neutrality, sustainability and constant improvement of the Internet.
In 2010, France-IX puts an end to the exception in the French Internet world that did not have a neutral and independent exchange point. France-IX has federated French and international Internet players around a real community of interest, which has continued to grow year after year.
