DE-CIX, an international Internet Exchange (IX) operator expanded in North America by adding Phoenix, as its fifth IX in the United States.
After a year of double-digit growth and expansion in 2020, with the addition of DE-CIX multi-service interconnection platforms in Chicago and Richmond, Virginia, Phoenix is set to become DE-CIX’s western-most location, fortifying connectivity across the United States while enhancing gateway access between North America, South America and Europe.
Phoenix is the fifth-largest city in the United States, is within five hours driving time from both Las Vegas and Los Angeles, and represents the fifth largest data center market in the country. DE-CIX’s expansion to Phoenix cements the company’s position as the largest carrier and data center neutral IX, serving four of the U.S.’s top five markets – Chicago, Dallas, New York, and Phoenix – with low latency proximity to the fifth-largest market, Los Angeles, which is less than 5ms from the burgeoning Phoenix market.
“Phoenix is the new urban technology center of the western U.S.. As a core hub for data centers, connectivity is robust, with over 60 long-haul, metro fiber telecom, broadband, and wireless networks traversing the market,” said Ivo A. Ivanov, CEO of DE-CIX International. “DE-CIX’s expansion to Phoenix increases our relevance in the North American market, bringing data and interconnection services closer to the users as our locations are now spanning from East to West.”
DE-CIX Phoenix offers a high-quality interconnection fabric to the market. The company’s experience in launching new markets goes together with its global brand and reputation in building and delivering interconnection solutions.
DE-CIX Phoenix will be available at leading data centers throughout the market. For more information about DE-CIX Phoenix, click here.
