DE-CIX’s Cloud Exchanges offer interconnection solutions that enable seamless, on-demand, and direct access to cloud service providers. Instead of relying on Internet-based connections, the service facilitates secure, reliable, and high-performance connectivity and allows enterprises to benefit from enhanced network performance, lower latency, improved data transfer speeds, and increased security. By connecting to clouds via a Cloud Exchange, enterprises can optimize their network infrastructure, create hybrid environments, enhance performance, and take full advantage of the benefits offered by the cloud.

At its booth (H080) at Cloud Expo Europe, DE-CIX will present solutions to help companies redefine digital value creation via the cloud using interconnection services such as:

• DirectCLOUD

DirectCLOUD offers fast, simple, stable, and secure connectivity to the cloud. As a private direct connection bypassing the Internet, the DirectCLOUD service minimizes downtime and guarantees continuous connection to chosen cloud service providers on DE-CIX’s Cloud Exchanges. The carrier-grade infrastructure reduces latency, allowing fast and effective collaboration in the cloud – and between clouds.

• Microsoft Azure Peering Service

The service, developed together by DE-CIX and Microsoft, provides highly reliable and optimized Internet connectivity to Microsoft's 365 and Dynamics SaaS clouds. Customers can not only improve user experience by offering the shortest network path from their own premises to the nearest edge Point of Presence in the Microsoft network, but also benefit from a SLA-backed, DDoS-free direct connection to Microsoft applications.

• Cloud ROUTER

The DE-CIX Cloud ROUTER offers direct and private high performance data exchange between cloud environments, therefore simplifying hybrid and multi-cloud strategies. Companies can route traffic directly between public and/or private clouds and benefit from improved application performance due to reduced latency as well as increased security and protection against cyber-attacks.

• InterconnectionFLEX

With InterconnectionFLEX, corporations can optimize their network infrastructure with a complete interconnection package. The solution bundles DE-CIX’s interconnection services, and each individual service is adjustable on a daily basis. InterconnectionFLEX is designed to fulfill an enterprise’s interconnection needs holistically and flexibly, be it to clouds, networks, or data centers.
