Digital Connexion, a full-spectrum provider of the data centre, colocation, and interconnection solutions, and DE-CIX India, the largest carrier and data centre neutral internet exchange (IX) operator in the Indian market, have announced a strategic partnership to provide internet peering and interconnection services to Indian enterprises. As part of the collaboration, DE-CIX has established a new point-of-presence (PoP) at Digital Connexion’s MAA10 data centre in Chennai.
Enhanced Network Performance and Simplified Interconnections
The partnership brings significant benefits to enterprises, cloud and content providers, and internet service providers (ISPs) in the southern India region. Companies hosted at MAA10 can now take advantage of expanded high-speed interconnection capabilities with enhanced network performance, cloud connectivity, and internet peering services.
DE-CIX’s presence at MAA10 will address low-latency edge requirements and ensure seamless content delivery to the last mile through a robust footprint of networks. This will empower enterprises to accelerate their digital transformation and elevate the customer experience.
Access to Global Cloud Providers and Data Centre Platform
With DE-CIX’s multi-service interconnection platforms, customers can access a range of services, including connectivity to hundreds of local carriers, ISPs, and content and application providers, without having to establish direct, separate connections with each network. DE-CIX DirectCLOUD enables Digital Connexion customers to reach global cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, through a single point, eliminating direct connection costs. Additionally, MAA10 customers will have access to a global data centre platform through Digital Realty’s PlatformDIGITAL.
CB Velayuthan, CEO of Digital Connexion, stated, “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 to 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, CBO of DE-CIX India, expressed excitement about the partnership, noting that it 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 centre platform with the most cost-effective and efficient interconnection options available.
