Mplify Adds AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and LINX to LSO APIs

Mplify said AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and LINX joined the Mplify Alliance to work with Mplify’s Lifecycle Service Orchestration (LSO) APIs. The move centers on automating interconnection tasks for IP peering and cloud connectivity.

The announcement places Internet Exchanges within the interconnection ecosystem, describing them as connecting internet service providers, cloud providers, enterprises, and content platforms. Mplify said the exchanges’ participation expanded the reach of its LSO APIs across interconnection ecosystems, with an emphasis on automation and interoperability.

Mplify described its LSO API portfolio as enabling automated service ordering, provisioning, orchestration, and lifecycle management across multiple provider and technology domains. It also said the framework supports ecosystem interoperability and more programmable service delivery across “AI-ready NaaS environments,” including peering, cloud on-ramp connectivity, and emerging AI-driven traffic exchange.

As part of the collaboration, AMS-IX, DE-CIX, and LINX joined Mplify to collaborate on the use and evolution of Mplify’s LSO APIs for IP peering, cloud on-ramp connectivity, and AI-driven traffic exchange. Kevin Vachon said, “We are excited to see the leading Internet Exchanges engaging with Mplify LSO APIs as part of their broader automation strategies,” and Peter van Burgel said, “By joining the Mplify Alliance, we are building on the expertise we've gained through IX-API and beyond to actively shape the next phase of automation and interoperability across the interconnection ecosystem.” Dr. Thomas King added, “The integration of the IX automation functionality – already developed in the IX-API standard – into Mplify’s APIs will further drive Network-as-a-Service adoption throughout the interconnection value chain.” Riccardo Verzeni said, “By collaborating with Mplify, we want to explore extending the IX-API project into a complementary subsection of the LSO API portfolio.”
