DE-CIX Accelerates Internet Exchange Services with Infinera Cloud Xpress 2
June 19 2018 - 08:00AM
Infinera, provider of Intelligent Transport Networks, announced
that DE-CIX, the world’s leading internet exchange operator,
deployed the Infinera Cloud Xpress 2 to easily address soaring
demand for internet exchange services in rapidly growing markets
including New York City, Frankfurt and Dallas. Internet exchanges
allow service providers, content delivery networks and digital
businesses to exchange internet traffic between their networks.
DE-CIX provides premium interconnection services and runs a range
of carrier- and data center-neutral internet exchanges globally.
DE-CIX serves over 1,300 carriers, internet service providers and
content networks from more than 100 countries, including all
leading international players in various metro markets in Europe,
the Middle East, India and North America.
DE-CIX selected the Cloud Xpress 2 for the unmatched combination
of capacity and simplicity in a compact, easy-to-install optical
networking platform. The Cloud Xpress 2 supports simple
point-and-click provisioning and the highest plug-and-play
combination of capacity and reach available, delivering 1.2
terabits per second of capacity up to 130 kilometers without
requiring any external equipment. Infinera Instant Bandwidth allows
DE-CIX to activate and pay for additional capacity in minutes,
reducing the initial cost of deployment while remaining responsive
to customer capacity demands. The solution was implemented by
network specialist Axians Networks & Solutions, which is a
longtime partner of Infinera and has been involved in other
projects for DE-CIX.
"DE-CIX is experiencing tremendous and unpredictable customer
demand for interconnection services in major markets across the
globe," said Daniel Melzer, CTO, DE-CIX. "Our customers request
instant activation of high-capacity internet exchange services, and
Cloud Xpress 2 with Instant Bandwidth enables us to deliver that to
our customers. Cloud Xpress 2 is easy to install and is performing
better than advertised for our data center interconnection
requirements."
"With internet traffic booming, driven by growth in cloud-based
services, neutral interconnection services from DE-CIX are the glue
connecting the cloud ecosystem," said Nick Walden, Infinera Senior
Vice President, EMEA. "We are delighted to work with DE-CIX to
rapidly meet the needs of their customers.”
"We are honored to partner with Infinera to provide DE-CIX with
a solution that provides exceptional performance and peace of
mind," said Rick Werner, Head of BU Carrier & Service Provider,
Axians Networks & Solutions.
The Infinera Cloud Xpress Family delivers high-performance data
center interconnect solutions to cloud service providers, internet
content providers, internet exchange service providers, enterprise
