Grupo Aire, a leader in cloud services, telecommunications, and digital infrastructure in the Iberian Peninsula, has reached a new milestone by being recognized by Google with the status of “Peering Gold.” This distinction, reserved for networks that meet the highest standards of technical quality and availability, positions Grupo Aire among the elite strategic interconnection partners of the tech giant.
A Recognition at the Highest Technical Level
Google’s “Peering Gold” certification is a seal of excellence that validates Grupo Aire’s (Aire networks) ability to manage direct and efficient connections to Google’s global network. This includes widely used services such as Google Workspace, YouTube, Google Cloud APIs, and other public resources accessible via global IPs.
Thanks to this distinction, Grupo Aire can provide its enterprise clients with direct connectivity to Google, without the technical requirements typically associated with direct peering. The result is a simpler network to manage, with fewer intermediaries and significantly enhanced performance.
Tangible Benefits for Businesses
The advantages for Grupo Aire’s clients are not only technical but also strategic. The “Peering Gold” status allows them to access:
- Private and dedicated connectivity to Google’s infrastructure, using redundant optical fibers that ensure reliable and low-latency access.
- Comprehensive coverage of Google services, from email and collaboration to critical cloud applications.
- High availability, with metropolitan redundancy that minimizes the risk of interruptions and ensures optimal operational continuity.
This new milestone reinforces Grupo Aire’s commitment to a business connectivity model focused on critical services, especially relevant in sectors where latency and availability make a difference.
A Robust Infrastructure for Digitalization
With a network deployed across multiple strategic points in Spain and Portugal, Grupo Aire has consolidated a robust and flexible infrastructure, ready for the demands of today’s digital environment. The company is part of an ecosystem of providers that advocate for sovereign, resilient, and high-performance connectivity.
“Achieving Google’s ‘Peering Gold’ status underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in connectivity,” said Santi Magazù, CEO of Grupo Aire. “This certification not only enhances the user experience but also allows our clients to reduce costs and scale efficiently.”
Boosting Operational Efficiency and IP Transit Savings
In addition to optimizing the digital experience, the new status as a “Peering Gold” partner of Google translates into operational efficiencies for Grupo Aire’s clients. The reduction in IP transit, along with decreased reliance on third parties for access to Google services, results in direct savings and improved technical management capabilities.
This recognition solidifies Grupo Aire as one of the key players in Europe’s digital interconnection, especially at a time when digital sovereignty and the resilience of infrastructures are gaining increasing importance.
With this strengthened alliance with Google, Grupo Aire advances its mission to offer top-tier connectivity tailored to the challenges of today and the future of digital.
