The German internet exchange has added two myLoc managed IT data centres "In der Steele 2" and "Am Gatherhof" as DE-CIX enabled sites. It already has a presence in Interxion in Dusseldorf. Customers of these data centres will need a cross-connect in order to link Dusseldorf with Frankfurt, where DE-CIX holds one of its main facilities – an internet exchange with the world's highest throughput at peak times, it claims. At the launch of the partnership with DE-CIX, myLoc said it will offer customers these cross-connects free of charge. Peter Hansen, CEO of myLoc managed IT said: "We are pleased to reinforce our position as an operator of carrier-independent colocation data centres through the presence of DE-CIX at our two Dusseldorf locations. As a long-standing customer of DE-CIX, we are elevating our cooperation to a new level and thus offering our customers new interconnection options right on their own doorstep."
