DE-CIX announces GRASS-MERKUR and IP-Max as new Premium Partners

Following successful partnerships to date, we are delighted to announce that GRASS-MERKUR and IP-Max are now premium partners.

GRASS-MERKUR is an IT, cloud, and data center service provider based in Hanover, Germany. Since April 2024, GRASS-MERKUR has been offering a cloud exchange in its own data center called “HAN-CIX – powered by DE-CIX.” The connection to the DE-CIX Frankfurt interconnection ecosystem enables direct and private data exchange between different cloud environments.

The Geneva-based company IP-Max specializes in IT services and network solutions. IP-Max and DE-CIX are celebrating 10 years of partnership this year, which is now being taken to the next level with premium status, enabling even more innovative solutions. Read a recent case study of how IP-Max’s customers can leverage DE-CIX’s direct peering solution for improved performance and reliability.

The DE-CIX partner program was expanded and restructured in 2024 under the name R3 (Resell–Refer–Reach). The premium status is valid for two years and honors particularly successful partners.
