BICS and France-IX extend partnership to offer comprehensive range of services
BICS joins the France-IX Marketplace providing IP Transit, Cloud Direct access, Ethernet transport, remote peering and IP voice services to peering community
Paris and Marseille, France - France- IX, the premier Internet Peering Service Provider in France, and leading international communications enabler, BICS, has announced an extension of their partnership, as BICS joins the France-IX Marketplace as a seller. Starting today, BICS will offer a range of value-added IP- centric services to France-IX peering members, including access to Cloud Direct®, remote peering to other Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), carrier Ethernet, direct inward dialling (DID) cloud numbers, Internetwork Packet Exchanges (IPX) transport
and its SIM for Things global IoT connectivity solutions.
The announcement marks the latest integration between the
two parties, which joined forces in 2016. BICS first became a France-
IX strategic partner by providing a backbone solution that interconnects the two France-IX peering platforms located in Paris and Marseille, the gateway to EMEA. This enabled BICS to offer a simple and competitive single remote-peering solution
for France-IX peers looking to expand their network footprint into the Middle East, Africa and other international destinations.
“We are delighted to strengthen our partnership with France-IX
by becoming a Marketplace seller. The France-IX Marketplace is an innovative way to offer our range of services to the French and French- speaking peering community and the cost and time savings provided by the France-IX Marketplace present great value for users,” said Shady Masarweh, Head of Capacity and IP at BICS.
“The superior quality of BICS’
services and worldwide scale make
it a great addition to the France-IX Marketplace,” said Franck Simon, President of France IX Services. “Most peering ports retain some unused capacity and the Marketplace enables our peering members to use some of this spare bandwidth for additional services such as IP transit, remote peering, access to cloud services, Ethernet solutions, voice services and more. Peers gain cost efficiencies from price competition between sellers and the seamless provisioning of the service they buy.”
The France-IX peering community of several hundred international telecommunications carriers, ISPs, content providers, content delivery networks, enterprises, and many other internet professionals, are able to optimise their existing port in the IXP by buying valuable IP- centric services via the France-IX Marketplace.
This delivers a number of benefits to both sellers and buyers: sellers get the efficiency of a single port to provide services to over 400 France- IX members’ networks; access
to a growing number of potential customers in expanding new markets throughout the Middle East and Africa via France-IX Marseille; and the freedom to apply their own product and pricing strategy. Buyers get access to competitively priced, valuable services, which are delivered directly over a VLAN from the seller’s France-IX Marketplace port to their own France-IX peering port. The VLAN provisioning is completed in one business day and services are available instantly in all France-IX points of presence, which allows
all France-IX members to access all the Marketplace services anywhere, irrespectively of their equipment location.

CoreDial’s CoreNexa platform is designed specifically to enable channel partners throughout the United States to succeed with cloud communications. CoreDial’s channel partners use CoreNexa to sell, deliver, manage, and invoice for high quality, reliable and feature-rich UCaaS and CCaaS services to their small to mid-sized (SMB/ SME) customers. Over the past few years, the company has significantly invested in the CoreNexa Call Control platform. The result is enhanced business continuity through advanced and modern cloud- centric geo-redundancy capabilities that
will help the Channel compete and win
on the merits of quality and reliability. These new enhancements not only meet market demands, but go beyond what most competitive offerings can provide.
CoreDial’s business continuity solution exceeds standard best practices of active- active. The CoreNexa platform offers
more redundancy options than CoreDial’s smaller competitors and more flexibility and management control than larger competitors are able to deliver. Providing seamless redundancy between its data centers as well
as into public cloud infrastructures like Amazon, Google and Azure is an unparalleled capability CoreDial is proud to offer its Partners. Such advanced geo-redundancy options enable the highest level of quality and reliability giving CoreDial’s channel partners a framework for long term scalability.
“Over the last several years, we’ve invested many millions of dollars into our cloud infrastructure and services to improve quality, reliability, and scalability, while developing rich end-user experiences for our channel partners and their customers,” said Alan Rihm, CEO, CoreDial. “We’ve been told by industry leaders and peers that we defined this channel strategy, but our company culture both values and demands continuous improvements. We always want more, and want to give more to our partners. To prepare all of us for the journey from 320,000 seats
to 1,000,000 and beyond, we’ve invested considerably in people, processes, and technology to make sure we deliver what the market wants and expects of us.”
These new enhancements go above
and beyond just offering a modernized
cloud infrastructure, and active-active geo-redundancy and business continuity capabilities. The CoreNexa Call Control platform enhancements build on the company’s open source and proprietary call control capabilities, offer new management interfaces and capabilities, provide seamless failover to any number of redundant instances (not just active-active), and offer virtually limitless capabilities to accommodate
growth and expansion into new markets
and channels. CoreDial anticipates near
term expansion into private and/or public clouds, and its software was designed to accommodate that expansion.
“We’ve constantly innovated over the last 13 years, and we will continue to do so going forward”, says Chris Abboud, VP of Software at CoreDial. The company has essentially provided our teams with a blank check to enhance and improve our platform to meet the growing demands of the business, and our growing community of channel partners. We’ve recently embraced Agile company- wide and we’re accelerating our innovation, as well as our quality and reliability as a result. We are well positioned to yet again leapfrog competitors in our space and help our Channel Partners succeed in even greater ways.”
