The interconnection platform your European team relies on is ready for your US cloud.
Your colleagues in Europe already use DE-CIX. Extend the same trusted, neutral platform to your US sites and clouds: same portal, same engineers, same standards.
New to DE-CIX? A neutral interconnection company founded in Frankfurt in 1995, running 60+ Internet Exchange locations worldwide.
You're inheriting a proven tool, not evaluating a stranger
Your organization already peers with DE-CIX in [Europe/Germany]. That means your European network team already trusts DE-CIX for how traffic moves between networks.
DE-CIX has 30 years of history and 60+ locations. DE-CIX Frankfurt is one of the world's largest Internet Exchanges. DE-CIX doesn't own data centers or sell telco circuits, so it isn't tied to any one provider.
Peering, in one line
Exchanging traffic directly with other networks at an Internet Exchange instead of routing it through third parties. It's what your European team uses DE-CIX for today.
Two regions, two ways of connecting
US cloud growth often happened on its own track, for good reasons: a different carrier, contract and design than Europe. Over time that can mean:
Slower changes
New cloud paths or bandwidth changes wait on carrier workflows in a separate contract.
Limited visibility
It is harder to see beyond the hand-off when each region is built differently.
More internet exposure
Every extra internet-facing path widens the attack surface.
