New Westin Circuit online. SIX BGP Turn-up Tonight

We're happy to announce that our new dedicated fiber link to the Westin Building is now online. This circuit will allow our clients to secure small/medium sized (10-500mb) bandwidth connections from any carrier at the Westin with very reasonable loop costs. This offers a "best of both worlds" situation for d.f clients; the finest colocation facilities available in the Seattle area connected to the carrier-rich connectivity of the Westin Building. If you are interested in dedicated connectivity to your equipment at digital.forest contact your Sales Representative today.

Additionally we are using the circuit to re-establish our connection to the Seattle Internet eXchange (SIX). That BGP session will be turned up tonight around 11pm. This change will likely result in better routing to regional access networks and select long-haul transit providers who also peer at the SIX.

Stay tuned for more connectivity-related announcements as we're adding another tier-1 transit provider to the mix of our BGP routing within the next week or so.
