Digital Connexion, a comprehensive provider of highly-connected and scalable data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, has joined forces with DE-CIX India, the largest carrier and data center-neutral internet exchange (IX) operator in the Indian market, to enhance internet peering and interconnection services for Indian enterprises. This strategic partnership features the establishment of a new point-of-presence (PoP) by DE-CIX at Digital Connexion’s state-of-the-art MAA10 data center in Chennai.
The collaboration between Digital Connexion and DE-CIX is poised to deliver significant advantages to enterprises, cloud and content providers, and internet service providers (ISPs) in southern India. Companies hosted at the MAA10 data center can now leverage expanded high-speed interconnection capabilities, benefiting from enhanced network performance, cloud connectivity, and internet peering services. The presence of DE-CIX at MAA10 will also address low-latency edge requirements and ensure seamless content delivery to the last mile through a robust network footprint, enabling enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation and elevate the customer experience.
DE-CIX’s multi-service interconnection platforms allow customers to access a wide range of services, including connectivity to hundreds of local carriers, ISPs, and content and application providers, without needing to establish direct, separate connections with each network. With DE-CIX DirectCLOUD, Digital Connexion customers can connect to global cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud through a single point, eliminating direct connection costs. Additionally, MAA10 customers will gain access to a global data center platform through Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL®.
CB Velayuthan, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Connexion, commented, “With the Indian economy undergoing digitization across many sectors, the demand for next-generation infrastructure has become paramount. Through our partnership with DE-CIX, we enable this digital transformation in a way that is efficient, dynamic, and well-positioned for future growth. Aligning with our vision of creating a data meeting place for digital communities, this collaboration offers our customers a variety of interconnection services and single-hop direct connectivity to multiple cloud providers, fostering a connected ecosystem.”
Sudhir Kunder, Chief Business Officer of DE-CIX India, added, “We are excited to be expanding and adding a great new partner, Digital Connexion. The collaboration offers the market a new and ideal diverse solution, as well as a great place for both enterprises and ISPs to leverage connections to a leading carrier-neutral global data center platform with the most cost-effective and efficient interconnection options available in the market. This partnership will be the fourth PoP for DE-CIX Chennai, which brings the total to 20 PoPs across India.”
This strategic initiative marks a significant step forward in supporting India’s digital infrastructure growth and providing robust connectivity solutions to meet the country’s burgeoning digital demands.
