"As you all know, 2020 will have been a pivotal year as we have validated the merger of Rezopole with France-IX, and we are now France-IX Lyon.

This choice has been carefully considered throughout the year 2020, with you, our members, the Rezopole team and the Board of Directors.

This choice will allow us to pursue and develop our know-how around the Internet network, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and throughout France.

I would like to thank in this last "Annual Review" all those who believed in the Rezopole project and supported us despite the difficulties:

• Thanks to the founders of Rezopole, all pioneers and passionate about the Internet!
• Thanks to the members of the office (volunteers) who spent many evenings all these years to help us grow,
• Thank you to the team in Lyon, who kept Rezopole running 24/7,
• Thanks to the public authorities for their indispensable financial support,
• And thank you to all of you, our members, for whom we have created Rezopole in order to develop the industry.

See you at a future event."

Philippe Duby,

Former President of Rezopole

 "This text is written in Covid-19 confinement, which shows the enormous impact of the Internet in our daily lives, and its importance in helping us to continue our activities in telework or tele-education.

Exchange nodes such as those managed by Rezopole have a very important role in these periods of increased traffic. The first 100 Gbps client was set up on LyonIX at the very beginning of the Covid-19 crisis.

Looking back at 2019, the following highlights, detailed in the report, are worth noting:

• Migration of the core network to a new, latest-generation 100 Gb infrastructure,
• Securing links (redundancy) and BGP routing,
• Opening of new POPs related to their potential for new members,
• Reinforcement of the interconnection with the Swiss IXPs (CIXP & SwissIX),
• Survey on Telecom needs in the Alps with local players,
• First 24/7 BGP outsourcing services.

The IXP market is transforming towards increased service provision, and Rezopole will continue its transformation in 2020 to adapt to this evolution.

Thank you for your interest in our activities, I hope you enjoy reading. »

President of the Rezopole Association
