Employees, applications, cloud environments, partners and suppliers increasingly connect over the Internet. So what happens to your traffic once it leaves the network you control? That question brought Wifinity and NL-ix together. As a new reseller of NL-ix Sovereign Internet, Wifinity can help customers extend visibility and control beyond their own network and into the Internet their business depends on. We spoke with Peter Kort of @Wifinity about why the whole chain matters — and what our partnership means for customers. 👉 Read the full interview: nl-ix.net/articles-events/ar…

𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆. ☁️ Yesterday, our colleague Michael Groß joined the STACKIT Cloud X Summit. An interesting day with a strong focus on cloud, digital sovereignty and the growing importance of European digital infrastructure. It was also good to see KPN on stage, sharing more about its partnership with STACKIT for the Dutch market. As a long-standing connectivity partner of KPN, that naturally made the story particularly relevant for us. Because as more business-critical applications move to European cloud environments, the question is not only where they run — but also how organisations connect to them. More choice. More control. And direct connectivity to the cloud platforms businesses depend on. Thank you @STACKIT for hosting and for the interesting conversations. We look forward to continuing them.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗟𝗦𝗗 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. 🎬 An afternoon talking about where the Internet is heading. An evening at the beach with the people who build, run and depend on it. And, this year, a very good reason to raise a glass together: 25 years of NL-ix. 🥂 The Late Summer Drink has grown quite a bit over the years, but the idea behind it hasn’t changed: bring the interconnection community together, keep it informal and make room for good conversations. The aftermovie gives you a little taste of this year’s edition. And if you spot a familiar face — or want to find yourself — we’ve also put the full photo gallery online. 📸 👉 View all photos: nl-ix.net/articles-events/ev… See you at LSD 2027!
