Through an agreement with exchange operator INX-ZA , NTT Data - previously Dimension Data - has taken the peering point live at its JOH1 data centre in Samrand, near Midrand. The facility has 6 200sq m of rack space and boasts 12MW of IT critical load.
Jinx is Africa's oldest internet exchange point (IXP) in South Africa. It has been operating since 1996 with 100% uptime throughout that 28-year period.
