DE-CIX New York is a carrier and data center-neutral internet exchange point (IX or IXP) in the New York/New Jersey metro owned and operated by DE-CIX North America Inc.
DE-CIX New York is distributed across carrier hotels and data centers in the region, including 60 Hudson Street,
The Internet exchange addresses the peering problem[3] in the North American Internet exchange market, as existing Internet exchanges do not offer carrier or data center-neutral services. These neutral services are characteristic of the European model of Internet exchanges,[4][5] which promotes a more competitive market for interconnection, pricing and general bandwidth growth.
DE-CIX New York was announced in September 2013,[6] began taking customer orders in November 2013 and passed the first customer packets across the exchange in May 2014.[7] DE-CIX New York is built on a 100 Gigabit Ethernet-capable switching system that supports large numbers of 100 GE ports. It uses multiple dark fiber rings to provide a scalable infrastructure to the exchange.
