Official websiteNetwork operator (AS44901) offering premium IP transit and cloud infrastructure. Provides regional and international routing options via colocation and interconnect points in European datacenters including Istanbul (PremierDC).
Official websiteNeutral Internet Exchange Point (IXP) serving the Turkish market under the ISTIX brand. Accessible from datacenters in Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa and İzmir; enables direct traffic exchange via route servers and 50+ cloud providers.
Official websiteThe Kuzey Datacenter network is engineered to deliver low latency and high availability for colocation, dedicated and cloud customers. Operated under AS62425, our backbone optimizes Turkey and European traffic through a redundant core, carrier-neutral transit options and direct CDN peering.
Our architecture follows N+1 redundancy: bidirectional path selection, link aggregation, dynamic BGP routing and 24/7 NOC monitoring form the operational foundation. IPv6 dual-stack support, RPKI validation and planned failover drills support enterprise workload continuity.

A carrier-neutral datacenter allows customers to connect through multiple telecom providers instead of being locked to a single operator. At our Istanbul facility, on-net fiber access is available from all major carriers — keeping transit competitive, improving redundancy and letting you shape BGP policy around business goals.
Enterprise customers can announce their own ASN, use private VLANs or dedicated layer-2 circuits, and achieve consistent latency profiles in hybrid cloud scenarios. Our NOC proactively manages route changes, maintenance windows and capacity planning.
Our ~3.5 ms average RTT target across Turkey is supported by Cloudflare, Google and Meta peering, local IX connectivity and optimized BGP community policies. See our blog articles for deeper technical detail.
