Dubai - Alliance International Management (AIM) has signed a strategic partnership with the World leading Internet Exchange AMS-IX to launch six new Internet and Applications exchange platforms in the GCC countries.

The partnership was signed by AIM on behalf of a group of technology providers and investors that have the intention to set up a new joint venture that aims to strengthen the connectivity of the Gulf region by bridging high speed connectivity Infrastructure with datacentres and exchange platform. This new joint venture will be named ‘Alliance Networks’ and will also address low-latency edge requirements and ensure seamless content delivery to the last mile through a robust footprint of network nodes spread across the region.

AMS-IX will serve as provider of neutral internet and interconnection traffic exchange platforms, which will provide enhanced network performance, low latency, direct one-hop cloud connectivity, and Internet peering services to a majority of the ISPs across the GCC and beyond. With multiple interconnected AMS-IX multi-service Interconnection platforms in the region, customers can access a range of services including connectivity to local carriers, Internet service providers (ISPs), and content and application providers, without having to establish direct, separate connections with each network.
