Company History

The company was founded in 2002 to act as a wide-area Internet Exchange Point and application delivery service provider. The company's original business model was to use Layer 2 Ethernet and MPLS technology to build a distributed Internet Exchange Point as well as to provide point to point ethernet connectivity. This model was reasonably successful, with over 140 networks peering traffic over the PacketExchange network. The commoditization of the IP market over recent year has necessitated that the company evolve.

In January 2005, PacketExchange acquired and integrated ExchangePoint. In October 2007, PacketExchange was recognized as a key success factor in the band Radiohead's internet album release. In February 2008, Rick Mace became the new CEO and simultaneously, PacketExchange secured an additional $12 million in investment capital. PacketExchange continues to expand its network and product portfolio. The company added two new core network points of presence during 2008: one in the Telx colocation facility in New York and another in Singapore.

Honors and Awards

Deloitte named PacketExchange a winner of the UK Technology Fast 50 awards for 2007, identifying the company as one of the UK’s fastest-growing high-technology companies through an objective ranking based on sustained revenue growth over the past five years. [1]. The company was listed by Tech Track as the "18th Fastest Growing Technology Company" for 2006 and the "14th Fastest Growing Technology Company" for 2005.[2].
