We’ve rolled out a set of practical improvements to the IAA Member Portal, designed to give Members greater control, faster service changes, and better visibility over their connectivity.
Change request rollbacks
Members can now roll back changes made to their services directly within the Portal.
While requests are still actioned by our network team, this feature provides an extra layer of confidence when making changes and is an important step toward fully automated provisioning.
Faster peering activation
The Portal is now integrated directly with our route servers for peering services.
When ordering a new peering service, a Member’s BGP session details are deployed on demand, meaning new peering can be active as soon as the service is provisioned, rather than waiting up to 24 hours as before.
Updates to existing peering services (such as AS-SETs and prefix limits) are also applied immediately.
Smarter cross connect reminders
When Members upgrade or cancel ports, the Portal will now issue reminders to cancel old cross connects with their data centre provider.
There are mutual benefits here as Members can ensure they aren’t paying data centres for cross connects they aren’t using any more, and we can make more efficient use of our data centre cabling.
