DE-CIX Dusseldorf: Network upgrade completed

DE-CIX Dusseldorf is our second largest Internet Exchange in Germany. It connects over 195 networks and we have just finished a network upgrade to be able to connect even more customers.

The Internet Exchange has been upgraded from an SR7 to an SR-2s router, meaning that we now have plenty of available 100GE capacity as well as interconnection capacity for new DE-CIX enabled sites.

Special thanks goes to the project team for finishing the project in these challenging times!

Steady growth at our newest exchange in Germany

DE-CIX Dusseldorf carries up to 174 Gbit/s peak traffic supporting regional data exchange in the most populous metropolitan area in Germany, which also has the third largest regional gross domestic product in Europe. Dusseldorf is our newest German exchange and is an important bridgehead for Internet traffic between the largest DE-CIX location in Frankfurt and the submarine cable access in Amsterdam.

With access to DE-CIX Dusseldorf, you can peer remotely not only with all connected networks in Frankfurt, but also with all connected networks in Hamburg, Munich, New York, Marseille, Istanbul, Madrid, Lisbon, and Palermo with our GlobePEER Remote service.
