DE-CIX, a leading Internet Exchange (IX) operator, has announced its market entry into Mexico.
The company-owned distributed Internet Exchange will be located in Mexico City and Santiago de Querétaro, and will provide a data centre and carrier neutral, secure and high-performance interconnection platform for ISPs, content delivery networks, network operators, cloud service providers and enterprises of all sizes.
As an initial step, the IX – the 45th market added to DE-CIX’s global presence – will be hosted in the data centres of KIO Data Centers and is planned to be ready for service in early 2024.
Further data centres from diverse operators will be enabled in due course, extending the company’s reach in the country. DE-CIX Mexico will be directly connected to the flourishing interconnection ecosystem of DE-CIX Dallas – the largest carrier and data centre neutral IX serving the Southwest region and one of the top 15 IXs in the US – allowing low latency and high-performance access to North American clouds, content and applications.
The new IX will be integrated into the North American and global DE-CIX ecosystem. From day one, the full portfolio of DE-CIX services will be available.
“The millions of users in Mexico deserve digital services of state-of-the-art quality. This requires the best infrastructure possible, interconnected in low latency and localizing content, cloud and applications as close as possible to the end users, for both private and business purposes,” said Ivo Ivanov, CEO of DE-CIX.
