Console Connect Inc. is a technology company based in the United States. It focuses on B2B peering server connectivity, specifically in the Software Defined Interconnect (SDI) field. It was founded by Al Burgio, who is the company's CEO.
The company is a venture-backed startup, and claims to have raised $65 Million in venture capital as of the end of 2015.
Founded as IIX Corp., in May 2016, IIX changed its name to Console Connect Inc. It still goes by both Console and IIX in various marketing and advertisements.
Console Connect’s primary product, the Console Platform, is a SDI management system that is integrated into Microsoft Azure. It was announced on August 20, 2015 and is a re-engineered version of IIX's previous SDI offering. The service is intended to reduce the cost of server-to-server communication, by bypassing the internet, using Tier 3 direct links that Console Platform has already negotiated for clients.
Sales for Console Platform largely are first party, and are promoted directly on both the Google Cloud Platform and Azure Marketplace galleries - which are the two primary cloud platforms that Console Platform provides SDI services between.
Console Connect Inc. has won industry awards, including TechTarget’s 2016 Network Innovation Award for the Console Platform.
