Welcome at VIX!

The Vienna Internet eXchange (VIX) is a neutral, highly available Internet Exchange Point for the Central and Eastern European region. It has been operated by the University of Vienna since 1996 - currently at three locations in Vienna.

More than 170 national and international participating organizations use the VIX infrastructure to optimize their regional Internet traffic. Participants include Internet Service Providers, Cloud Providers, Content Providers, Content Delivery Networks and Research & Education Networks.

30 Years of VIX

30 years of continuity, quality, and dedication to the peering community: that called for a celebration! It was a great pleasure for our sponsor, Arista, and for us to welcome our Austrian guests and the international Euro-IX community to the Prater on 5 May 2026, amid the springtime atmosphere.

Over delicious Viennese cuisine and a breathtaking show, we forged new relationships and shared unforgettable moments with VIX participants and our partners from around the world. You can find the photos of this amazing evening in our photo gallery.

Thank you to everyone who raised a glass with us to celebrate three decades of partnership!
