DE-CIX has announced the 100th customer network on its New York Internet exchange.
Launched in May 2014, DE-CIX New York is DE-CIX’s first Internet exchange in North America and the city’s fastest-growing exchange. Achieving the 100th customer milestone this month keeps DE-CIX New York growing faster than its initial growth projections.
“We are thrilled that the concept of DE-CIX New York has been so well-received by the marketplace,” said Harald Summa, DE-CIX CEO. “In less than 18 months, our team has grown this new exchange from zero to an ever-increasing ecosystem of some of the world’s most important networks. It’s a rich and thriving environment that will continue to serve the Internet community with truly neutral peering and interconnection services of the highest quality.”
DE-CIX New York was created to deliver a distributed carrier and data center-neutral Internet exchange to the New York metropolitan area. In an effort to offer customers more reliable and flexible service options, from the beginning, DE-CIX New York offered more than 100 access points to its exchange from the most relevant data centers around the region.
“In a relatively short amount of time, we have successfully created a strong ‘center of gravity’ in the region for networks, and we intend to continue to grow DE-CIX New York with the same focus and energy into the future,” continued Summa. “We thank our customers and partners for trusting us with their mission-critical data and look forward to serving them well into the future.”
In the past several years, DE-CIX has expanded rapidly into new markets around the globe, delivering service in markets with the need for neutral and open peering and interconnection.
