DE-CIX, the world's leading Internet Exchange operator, is expanding its presence at its Dusseldorf location. With immediate effect, DE-CIX services – such as GlobePEER, GlobePEER Remote, and DirectCLOUD – will now also be available in the two myLoc managed IT AG's data centers "In der Steele 2" and "Am Gatherhof". The two sites will join Interxion in Dusseldorf in becoming “DE-CIX Enabled Sites”. Customers of these data centers will only need a so-called “cross-connect” in order to connect to DE-CIX Dusseldorf and Frankfurt. To launch the partnership, myLoc is offering these cross-connects free of charge. With this step, DE-CIX is pursuing its expansion strategy in the core market of Germany and the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region.

“With myLoc managed IT AG, we have found the ideal partner to drive forward our expansion in the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region. The partnership with myLoc allows us to offer our product portfolio at additional locations and to thus be closer to our customers. This will allow our customers to use the services of DE-CIX even more easily and cost-effectively," says Dr. Thomas King, Chief Innovation Officer at DE-CIX.

“We are pleased to reinforce our position as an operator of carrier-independent colocation data centers through the presence of DE-CIX at our two Dusseldorf locations. As a long-standing customer of DE-CIX, we are elevating our cooperation to a new level and thus offering our customers new interconnection options right on their own doorstep," says Peter Hansen, CEO of myLoc managed IT AG.

Founded in 2015, Dusseldorf belongs to one of five DE-CIX locations in Germany (Munich, Hamburg, Berlin, and Frankfurt) and a total of 13 locations worldwide. DE-CIX in Frankfurt is the world's largest Internet Exchange with a data throughput of over 6 Terabits per second.
