The European Commercial Internet Exchange (ECIX) has opened a 100GE Internet Exchange in Frankfurt, providing an alternative to DE-CIX, the world’s largest Internet Exchange and which is also based in Frankfurt.
“With heavy traffic volume moving through Frankfurt, an advanced Internet Exchange was required to keep up with the momentum of new technologies,” states Stefan Wahl, CEO of ECIX and Peering GmbH. “Our new 100GE Internet Exchange will provide alternative connectivity options for the largest IP capitals in Europe. ECIX will continue expanding into markets that have a strong need for exchange options and we are dedicated to deploying the latest technologies in these facilities.”
ECIX is operated by Peering GmbH, an organization, with Internet Exchanges in Berlin, Hamburg, Düsseldorf and Amsterdam.
