Welcome at VIX!
The Vienna Internet eXchange (VIX) is a neutral, redundant, high-performance, high-availability Internet Exchange Point (IXP) with about 150 national and international participants, mainly from the Central and Eastern European Region. Details
VIX and COVID-19
Even though the total traffic volume at the Vienna Internet Exchange has increased by 20% on average since March 10, 2020 (see Traffic Statistics) we are not experiencing any congestion for the time being. In any case we are prepared to increase our infrastructure's capacity if necessary. If you are a VIX participant organization and would like to add bandwidth to your VIX connection, please contact us. We will try to find a solution despite the current exceptional situation.
The complete VIX team is working from home office since March 16, 2020. Our availability has not changed, however. You can reach us Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00, CE(S)T; preferably by e-mail but also by phone (see contact information). In the case of an emergency you may also call us outside our office hours at +43 1 4277-14030 and leave a message. If necessary, we will call back swiftly.
Please do not enter our VIX1 (i.e., NIG) data center except for absolute necessities! Actual physical changes to the infrastructure at VIX1 (NIG) such as new patches or accompanied access need to be arranged well beforehand.
Stay safe, stay healthy and take care!
