10. CARRIER NEUTRAL
 Switch Datacenters has a network neutral policy in order for our customers to
freely connect directly to the existing networks within our datacenter in
Amsterdam. Switch AMS1 is strategically located in Amsterdam South East,
which has one of the highest densities of International Backbone Carriers in
Europe. The presence of large amounts of fiber in the ground makes it
possible to directly buy bandwidth in our datacenter from all major carriers in
the world at the best possible conditions.
 Since its opening in August 2011 Switch Datacenters has over 460 fiber
connections, coming from 40 different backbone carriers such as Level3,
Verizon, Abovenet, BT, Colt, Cogent, euNetworks, Relined and many others.
You can also connect directly to one of the existing Internet exchanges.
 The datacenter offers the opportunity to have network connections from two
separate Meet-Me-Rooms to connect to your infrastructure. This means you
are able to create full redundancy through physically separate fiber optic
paths.
