With just four months in operations, the DE-CIX Internet exchange (IX) in Madrid (Spain) - managed by DE-CIX, the world’s leading Internet exchange operator - has become the fastest growing IX globally. From the start in June, 60 networks have are already signed-up for the DE-CIX peering and interconnection services and the data traffic has broken records on a week-to-week basis.
"This is clear evidence that there is a tremendous need for an Internet exchange in Spain that provides a neutral, reliable, quality interconnection and peering point – such as DE-CIX. With the high interest of many carriers, international content networks, Internet service providers in Spain and Portugal, as well as from West African ISPs reaching Madrid via Lisbon, we anticipate even more growth going forward", says Harald A. Summa, CEO of DE-CIX.
DE-CIX Madrid started operations in June 2016 at the carrier-neutral Interxion data center in Madrid, which offers a high density of carriers and ISPs. Most recently, DE-CIX signed an agreement with Interoute Spain, under which DE-CIX will open a second DE-CIX Madrid enabled site at Interoute’s data center in Madrid. The DE-CIX set-up will be extended to more data centers in due time.
