Message-ID: <45fa01d72b3e$f25c9740$d715c5c0$@iwebfusion.net> Hello! If you're receiving this email it's because you have expressed interest in participating in the COIX (Central Oregon Internet Exchange). We are pleased to announce that the exchange is now live and is passing traffic! With that, we would like to extend the invitation for you to participate in the exchange. The COIX (pronounced koi) is a registered nonprofit within the state of Oregon and is a 501c(6) organization. All of the equipment and services this far have been donated. Special thanks to Cascade Divide Colo, BendTel, and H4Y Technologies. More information is available on our website at www.centraloregonix.org What are some advantages of participating? 1) Keep traffic local! This reduces latency and improves regional fault tolerances 2) Reduce transit cost 3) Build community With the idea to foster a community and keep traffic local, we've set the barrier of entry very low. A 1Gbps port on the exchange is only $75/year, and a 10Gbps port on the exchange is only $150/year. Ports are available at the Cascade Divide datacenter (207 SW Columbia St) and at the BendTel datacenter (130 NW Greenwood Ave). To get a LOA/CFA issued, please email noc at centraloregonix.org to order a cross-connect from the respective datacenter. We look forward to peering with you!
