How commercial vehicle manufacturer transformed global operations with DE-CIX’s InterconnectionFLEX
In a world where digital transformation is accelerating, Daimler Truck, one of the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers globally, faced a critical challenge: How to ensure fast, secure, and scalable connectivity across its international operations.
The company needed more than just cloud access. It required a solution that could adapt to evolving demands, support seamless collaboration across global teams, and provide direct, secure access to cloud services and networks. Traditional connectivity models couldn’t keep up with the pace of change or the complexity of modern IT environments.
Dynamically scaling interconnection services
That’s where DE-CIX’s InterconnectionFLEX came in. This innovative solution allowed the company to build a flexible, scalable “Connectivity Mesh” that acts as its own IP backbone. With InterconnectionFLEX, the company gained the ability to dynamically scale services, connect to over 50 cloud service providers, and access thousands of networks and hundreds of data centers worldwide – all through a single platform.
The implementation of the solution was seamless. Services like DirectCLOUD, GlobePEER, and Microsoft Azure Peering Service were integrated quickly via API, eliminating the need for time-consuming contracts or manual provisioning. The result? A dramatic reduction in administrative overhead and a significant boost in operational agility.
Predictable costs and flexibility
Security was also a top priority. DE-CIX delivered redundant, direct connections separated from the public Internet, ensuring secure access to the cloud. And because all services are bundled into a single bandwidth package, the company enjoys predictable costs and complete flexibility – without hidden fees or delays.
Today, Daimler Truck benefits from a future-ready digital infrastructure that supports everything from cloud collaboration to IoT-driven machine communication. With DE-CIX, the company has not only solved its connectivity challenges but also laid the foundation for continued innovation and growth.
