Case Study: NL-ix achieves automated interconnection and self-service agility with StackStorm

Nl-ix Enables Enterprise Exponential Interconnection

NL-ix, one of the world’s leading Internet Exchange Points, needed to evolve its business model to meet the rising interconnection demands created by enterprise digital transformation. As customers moved to digital-native, multi-cloud environments, NL-ix faced the challenge of delivering more transparent, flexible, and self-service interconnection services while also modernizing internal workflows and bridging legacy systems with new applications.

NL-ix chose StackStorm’s event-driven automation platform to power its digital transformation, using it for customer-facing services like the Route Configurator and Interconnect app as well as back-office workflow automation. With StackStorm, NL-ix reduced manual configuration from days to seconds, improved transparency and control, and enabled consistent, accurate automation across teams; the company now supports 655 interconnected networks across 15 countries, 25 metropolitan areas, and 105 data centers.
