KINX (Korea Internet Neutral eXchange) operates South Korea’s only carrier-neutral, Layer-2-based Internet Exchange, and sells colocation, cloud, and interconnection services out of a cluster of data centers in and around Seoul. As of recent reporting, KINX runs five carrier-neutral IDCs — Gasan, Dogok, Sangam1, Bundang1, and Gwacheon — plus a dedicated Internet Exchange platform (KIX) that peers with major Korean ISPs (KT, SK Broadband, LG U+) and international carriers such as NTT, Telstra, and Hurricane Electric. What sets KINX apart from generic colocation vendors is its dual identity: it is simultaneously Korea’s principal neutral IX operator and a colocation/cloud provider, letting customers colocate hardware while directly peering and cross-connecting to cloud giants through its CloudHub service, which links to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and Naver Cloud. KINX was also an early mover into public cloud in Korea, launching its IXcloud service in 2012, and it holds status as a colocation provider for AWS Direct Connect in Korea.
KINX operates as a cloud provider and colocation provider, with facilities at the following locations:
