DE-CIX Dallas connects with LOGIX Fiber Networks
DE-CIX says it has established connectivity at its Dallas internet exchange (IX) with local fiber network services provider LOGIX Fiber Networks. The connection enables LOGIX customers to access DE-CIX Dallas and use the DE-CIX GlobePEER Remote service to connect with IXs in Chicago, New York, Phoenix and Richmond as well as to thousands of networks connected across the U.S. and the company’s globally interconnected platforms throughout Europe and the Middle East.
The DE-CIX neutral interconnection ecosystem encompasses North America, Europe, the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia. LOGIX’s footprint includes data centers in Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Fort Worth. By pairing, the two companies create what they term “a seamless gateway” that removes third-party connectivity costs in Dallas as well as traditional colocation requirements.
“We are always looking for ways to enhance our network services and capabilities, and an interconnection with DE-CIX Dallas does just that,” commented Craig Collins, CEO of LOGIX Fiber Networks. “Through this partnership, LOGIX customers now can leverage our Texas-based transport network to access DE-CIX, helping companies procure the most direct route for connectivity and ultimately enhance performance while streamlining costs.”
“We continue to develop better ways for networks from throughout the region to connect to DE-CIX Dallas,” comments Ed d’Agostino, VP and General Manager of DE-CIX North America. “This partnership with LOGIX is yet another step forward in allowing DE-CIX Dallas to serve the entire region, not just networks with PoPs in Dallas. DE-CIX Dallas provides an array of network optimization and security capabilities for ISPs, content providers, enterprises, educational and research institutions and more. Now enabled through LOGIX, we look forward to welcoming even more networks to our quickly growing ecosystem.”
