Grow your cloud business with 
DE-CIX cloud connectivity

Get access to thousands of networks, extend your global reach, and win enterprise customers without building new locations.​

Your opportunities with DE‑CIX

Great cloud products need reach for sustainable growth. Regional, sovereign, and specialist cloud providers face structural challenges limiting growth even when the product is excellent.

Sovereignty doesn't stop at your datacenter​

The network path matters as much as the datacenter location. Regulated enterprises need auditable connectivity that stays within defined boundaries. The public internet can't guarantee that.

Enterprises expect hyperscaler‑grade connectivity

Hyperscalers set the bar, and others need to match it: private connections, SLA‑backed performance, and seamless service provisioning. Without a comparable on‑ramp, you risk losing opportunities.

Your presence is limited, your customers aren’t.

Distance shouldn’t determine who can reach you. Enterprises far from your infrastructure still need private, low‑latency paths.
Without global reach, they’ll get it somewhere else.
