According to ‘HowOldIsTheInter.net, the ‘World Wide Web’ is 12,037 days, or just over 32 years old. It was not designed way back then to support the types of data, connectivity, and critical applications that organizations rely upon today. DE-CIX, the world’s leading Internet Exchange (IX) operator, aims to solve for that and help organizations future-proof and optimize their network infrastructures.
Known for making interconnection easy, DE-CIX expanded its carrier and data center neutral IX platform into multiple EdgeConneX® data centers globally. As the world’s leading Internet Exchange (IX) operator, DE-CIX will bring its robust interconnection platform into the EdgeConneX data centers in Phoenix, AZ, Richmond, VA, and Barcelona, Spain. This adds to the existing DE-CIX Munich Internet Exchange presence at the EdgeConneX Munich Edge Data Center.
“We’re thrilled to further expand the availability of DE-CIX and grow our connectivity options for customers across our global platform. With many networks, cable operators, CDNs, cloud on-ramps, and internet exchanges available in EdgeConneX, we look forward to continuing to grow our network ecosystems at the Edge with DE-CIX, which operates one of the largest global IX platforms available today in the world.” – Aron Smith, Vice President of Product Management at EdgeConneX
