Due to power issues, several of our websites went down. Some emails sent to our ticketing system may have been delayed.

We are sorry for this inconvenience and aim to fully restore power, as we are currently running on a single feed.

No customer equipment has been affected by this.

Currently we have a switch outage in Rack D-2-11 in NZS (Nedzone Steenbergen), we have an engineer on-site to investigate the situation.

We're currently replacing the faulty switch.

Update: The switch is replaced and connectivity is restored.

Final Notice: Departure from DE-CIX and LINX Internet Exchanges

Dear Valued Peers and Partners,

As part of our commitment to delivering a high-quality, globally interconnected network,
we are concluding our participation in the DE-CIX and LINX internet exchanges.
This decision aligns with our strategy to optimize connectivity, expand network diversity, and ensure the best possible performance for our customers.

Over the past 12 months, we initiated a phased process to remove peering on these exchanges
and have communicated with peers to migrate to alternative arrangements.
For peers who have not yet responded or transitioned, we will cease all peering over DE-CIX and LINX in the upcoming week.

Our Commitment to Quality and Growth

We remain highly diligent in expanding and improving our network. Our focus includes:

• Enhancing network diversity by continually evolving our strategy and partnerships with transit providers.


• Prioritizing geographic redundancy and connectivity to ensure our customers benefit from a stable, high-performance network.


• Actively engaging with peers and partners to foster a collaborative, well-distributed internet ecosystem.

Moving Forward

- We are available for peering via other exchanges such as NL-ix, AMS-ix, ERA-ix, and BBIX.

- We welcome peering requests according to our peering policy at PeeringDB and are happy to explore connections in any of our PoP locations.

If you wish to peer with us or discuss alternative arrangements, please contact us at
noc@nforce.com.
We are eager to collaborate with partners who share our vision of building a stronger, more interconnected internet.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we continue to enhance the quality of our network and connectivity.

Best regards,

NOC Team

We would like to inform you about a recent network outage and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The issue arose when we needed to remove NTT as upstream from our network due to underlying issues with transit from them that we were experiencing. Following this removal and the subsequent changes to our route maps, the network began to spiral out of control, requiring an urgent reconfiguration.

Unfortunately, this reconfiguration process led to a temporary outage. We have since restored the network and are closely monitoring the situation to ensure stability.

Moving forward, we will conduct a thorough review of all changes and apply any necessary adjustments in a controlled and methodical manner to prevent similar issues from occurring.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
