Measures to Ensure Service Availability, Which Is Crucial for Security Solutions

NexG not only sells security products but also offers security services and security solutions. Among the security solution areas, they are particularly focused on solutions provided to companies in the finance sector and public institutions.

In the case of security solutions, it is paramount to minimize service delays and protect key computer resources against all kinds of cyber threats as a way to maintain the reliability of the user.

Proposed Local Peering and Transit for High Availability and Cost Reduction

In order to achieve fault tolerance in the security solutions and reduce costs, we proposed a network redundancy configuration based on local peering and transit.

Local peering, a service that is solely offered by KINX in Korea, enables mutual exchanges of traffic on a settlement-free basis with some 40 peering members including major ISPs, SOs, and CPs in Korea leading to 895G peering traffic on the network. This helps not only improve the Internet quality but also reduce the connection cost. At present, 3 million people, accounting for approximately 17% of all Internet subscribers in Korea, access the Internet via KINX.

The transit service enables interconnection with various line operators for the company. The company can freely purchase the transit of any domestic or overseas carrier operator of their choosing. This allows the company to use the Internet via the optimal routing path and even purchase transit from two or more operators.

Providing Uninterrupted Services Even in the Event of Failure

NexG was able to cut costs through local peering service and achieved network redundancy by also using transit service. Due to these services, even if an unexpected failure occurs in the network of their carrier, it is possible to continue service even if the local peering service fails via the second transit circuit and provide uninterrupted service. Introducing local peering also helped effectively reduce network costs through settlement-free traffic exchange with the IX members.
