DE-CIX, one of the world’s leading Internet Exchange (IX) operators and home to the largest carrier- and data centre-neutral interconnection ecosystem globally has announced its newest Internet Exchange in Helsinki, Finland, is ready for service.
The new DE-CIX IX is available in Equinix’s data centres in Helsinki (HE-CIX) with more enabled sites to be announced. In parallel with the launch of the new digital hub, which will be an important part of the DE-CIX interconnection ecosystem in the Nordics, DE-CIX and Nokia celebrated the 10th anniversary of their trailblazing partnership at Nokia’s headquarters in Espoo, close to the Finnish capital.
With the approach of one access, all clouds and every network, DE-CIX is bringing its InterconnectionFLEX service to Finland, which provides enterprises with a complete interconnection package as a holistic solution for cloud connectivity, virtual private network interconnects and direct interconnection between networks, also known as ‘peering’.
DE-CIX’s and Nokia’s long-standing relationship, which is based on joint research and development efforts and standardisation initiatives, has resulted in highly reliable, low-latency and seamless peering and interconnection services for customers around the world for more than 10 years.
Nokia provides innovative hardware – such as the newly developed FP5 network processor, designed to support 800 Gigabit Ethernet. This technology can be found in the latest Nokia 7750 SR-14s models, which DE-CIX uses, for instance, at Europe’s largest IX, DE-CIX Frankfurt.
