Virtual NAP, which supports customers in connecting to the fast-growing regional IP ecosystem, is being offered through Sparkle’s proprietary data centre and is in partnership with DE-CIX, the Internet Exchange Platforms (IXPs) provider.
Sparkle Virtual NAP gives customers the opportunity to have a virtual presence in selected IXPs without the need to dimension, implement and manage a complex proprietary international infrastructure and deploy IP equipment. A turnkey solution that provides carriers and service providers with connectivity to the main IXPs in one package, including access to a virtual router, an Ethernet port and immediate inclusion in the "peering club".
