Infrastructure

We at ix.kw are using EVPN over VXLAN for a fully redundant, distributed exchange. Currently, the IX resides in the TEC building with connections to multiple datacenters, all offering colocation services. Please check PeeringDB for more details. Plans are in place to expand the exchange to multiple datacenters across Kuwait.
