A new milestone in the development of a widespread and distributed digital infrastructure serving the region.
Milan Internet eXchange and Lepida S.c.p.A. announce the activation of new large operator caches at the MIX Bologna interchange node, hosted within Lepida’s data center. The initiative represents a further step toward a more distributed, efficient and resilient network capable of supporting the demand for digital content on a regional scale in a widespread manner.
The activated caches include that of Netskrt, Content Delivery Network (CDN) currently dedicated to the distribution of live streaming events, such as soccer matches and sporting events, in general. Local integration of these caching infrastructures makes it possible to significantly improve streaming quality, reduce latency, and relieve traffic on national and international backbones.
Demonstrating the effectiveness of these infrastructure integrations, MIX Bologna recorded its historic traffic peak, touching 26.5 Gbps and consolidating its role as a strategic hub for the Emilia-Romagna digital ecosystem, to which 20 ASNs are already interconnected.
This achievement further consolidates the collaboration between MIX and Lepida, underscoring the strength of the partnership between Italy’s leading IXP and a solid public entity serving the region. It is tangible proof of how public–private synergy, when driven by shared goals, can create value for the community and contribute to the development of a more efficient, resilient data network capable of meeting the needs of both citizens and businesses.
