H5 Data Centers has partnered with DE-CIX to make SAT-IX the first Internet Exchange (IX) in DE-CIX’s Turnkey Connectivity Program. This agreement allows networks at H5’s San Antonio data center to connect directly to DE-CIX Dallas without third-party transport or remote cross-connect fees.

The partnership strengthens regional connectivity by providing diverse connections to multiple DE-CIX Dallas switches, enhancing redundancy and network resiliency.
