DE-CIX ESTABLISHES 6TH US INTERNET EXCHANGE IN HOUSTON , TEXAS

DE-CIX , a leading Internet Exchange ( IX ) operator , has established and commissioned its sixth and southernmost US IX , DE-CIX Houston .

The IX will be housed in Databank ’ s Westway Park campus in Houston , accessible from HOU1 , HOU2 and HOU3 , as well as the Galleria ( HOU5 ) facility .
DE-CIX Houston is uniquely positioned to provide local networks with access to networks that are not currently available in Houston , with low latency connectivity to the vibrant ecosystem of DE-CIX Dallas , connecting more than 150 networks , as well as to further national and international DE- CIX locations .
Houston has a strong economy , a large presence of content networks and more than 40 data centres , but remains the largest US city not to have an IX of substantial size relative to its market size .
DE-CIX Houston ’ s IX infrastructure will launch with 100G ports and provide a range of services , including remote peering to all DE-CIX locations in North America , Europe and beyond , direct connectivity to cloud service providers that are not present in
Houston , and the Microsoft Azure Peering Service for lowlatency access to the MS365 cloud .
With direct connectivity to DE-CIX Dallas from Day 1 , and to DE- CIX Mexico in due course , this move also expands what is already the largest neutral interconnection ecosystem in North America .
