The @DE-CIX DirectCLOUD and Cloud ROUTER product teams just gave the @DE-CIX automation toolchain a serious upgrade. Configuration changes via our portal or API now hit the network in under 5 seconds. We used to measure this in minutes. Excellent work by the team.

When our customers ask for something, we build it. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is seeing massive growth, and enterprises made it very clear they needed full DE-CIX DirectCLOUD support. Our engineering team took that to heart. We have now deeply integrated OCI across our API and Self-Service Portal.

AI is changing the software world, but our networks are the ones footing the bandwidth bill. At SRExperts26, we tackled the elephant in the room: how our infrastructure must evolve to drive this AI supercycle forward. Nokia is certainly not messing around here.

A well-peered network is essentially a superpower in our industry. I spent the day at Cloudflare Immerse in Munich and it was highly impressive to see how German enterprises are building their AI and security stacks directly on top of Cloudflare’s massive connectivity.

25 Jahre SwissIX. Wer sich so lange und erfolgreich in unserer Branche behauptet, ist unbestreitbar das Rückgrat des Schweizer Internets! Gratulation! 💪🍾

Einmal im Jahr wagen wir uns aus den klimatisierten Serverräumen ans Tageslicht. Der eco Datacenter Expert Summit steht wieder an. Das absolute Highlight ist natürlich die abendliche Award-Verleihung für die besten Innovationen der Branche.

Having a great time today at the Google Cloud Summit in Frankfurt! We currently connect to Google Cloud via 37 global on-ramps with a total of 730 GE capacity.

Peering isn't going anywhere. It just has a lot more roommates now. Real interconnection happens in person. Last night, we proved it with over 100 attendees at the DE-CIX Roundtable in Frankfurt!

We just joined a new club, and the dress code is "APIs only." We are incredibly proud that @DE-CIX is among the first Internet Exchange operators to officially join the MPLIFY Alliance. 🔗 www.de-cix.net/en/about-de-...

DE-CIX Among First IX Operators to Join Mplify Alliance

DE-CIX is among the first IX operators to join the Mplify Alliance, advancing standardized, automated NaaS for the AI-driven digital economy.

Why wait for hardware when you can route in the cloud? Business-critical workloads demand three things: low latency, massive bandwidth, and total control over data flows. But nobody wants to wait weeks for physical hardware to arrive just to connect their hybrid or multi-cloud setup.

Get you a partner who fills in your gaps. 🧩🤝 For the past 12+ years, @Core-Backbone has been the ultimate wingman. When a customer needs connectivity in a data center outside the @DE-CIX footprint, @Core-Backbone is there, providing a strong, reliable network to make it happen seamlessly.

Is it really a cloud if it doesn't have 1,000GE of capacity attached? ☁️🚀 I'm on the ground today at the AWS Summit Hamburg, ready to talk Cloud Connectivity and all things @DE-CIX Cloud ROUTER! Planning to run workloads in the EU Sovereign Cloud? Come find me today in Hamburg or drop a message.🤝

Enter NIS2. It’s essentially the mandatory safety inspection for your digital infrastructure, designed to protect our most critical assets. If you’re wondering how to navigate the new rules of the road, this piece from CIO is a must-read: 👉 www.cio.com/article/4162...

Copy-Fail? More like Copy-Fixed. 🛑 At @DE-CIX, our customers depend on our availability and integrity. So when the Linux "Copy-Fail" vulnerability popped up, we took it super seriously and patched things up immediately. 👉 github.com/philfry/cve-...

Let IPv4 rest in peace. 🪦 The future of IXPs is IPv6-only. The technical foundation? RFC8950. But standards don't deploy themselves. A huge congratulations to the RFC8950 Working Group at #EUROIX for turning theory into reality!

AI didn't replace our developers. It just turned them into speed demons. 🏎️💨 Real-world AI adoption, told via a coffee machine chat today at @DE-CIX: We used to worry about the speed of delivery. Now, the human brain just trying to define the work is the new bottleneck.

AI inference has zero patience for lag. ⏱️🧠 I’m just back from an incredibly insightful time at #WaveLengths26! Here is the TL;DR on where our industry is heading: Enter the Internet Exchanges. We are basically the ultimate matchmakers for the AI era. 💘

An AI without connectivity is just a genius without Wi-Fi. 🧠📶 Everyone is talking about the AI revolution, but we need to talk about the plumbing. Think of it as a multi-cloud strategy, but for AI. It provides direct, private connectivity between enterprises and AI providers.

Are your cloud workloads crying? 😢☁️ Okay, maybe not literally. But if you’re running multi-cloud or hybrid setups without a virtualized router, they are definitely stressed out. Enter the @DE-CIX Cloud ROUTER.

And the heavyweight champion of the 2 Tbps milestone is... 🤠🥊 We’ve had a massive head-to-head battle brewing between @DE-CIX Dallas and @DE-CIX New York. The goal? Be the first to smash the 2 Tbps peak traffic barrier. It was an absolute nail-biter, but last night, Texas brought the heat.

Stop backseat driving the peering industry. 🚗💨 The highly appreciated Global Peering Forum (GPF) board elections are officially coming up! If you have big ideas for the peering community and want to actually steer the future of our industry, now is your chance to grab the wheel.

Everyone has a routing plan until a sea cable snaps. ✂️🌊 During GPF2026, Kaj just presented a brilliant deep-dive on what actually happens at Internet Exchanges when subsea cables break and backbone capacity suddenly vanishes into the ocean.

A Tale of Three Cities (and Zero Downtime). 🏙️ Frankfurt. Amsterdam. New York. Microsoft’s ExpressRoute Metro demands higher availability through two independent handovers in a single metro area. @DE-CIX stepped up to the plate. We are offering DirectCLOUD for ExpressRoute Metro in all locations

The recipe for prosperity? 🍲 Take one part ambitious Entrepreneurs. Add one part supportive Politics. Mix well. You can't have one without the other if you want a framework that actually creates jobs (and lets us sleep at night). IHK Frankfurt nailed the mix at yesterday's New Year's reception. 🎩

We were incredibly proud to host the #TOP100 network (www.top100.de/die-macher/) under the patronage of former Federal President Christian Wulff. It turns out, even the best innovators need good plumbing. 🛠️ We showed them how neutral interconnection platforms isn't just cables and blinky lights.

Cloudflare says 19%. DE-CIX Chicago says "Hold my beer." 🍺📈 Cloudflare Radar just dropped their 2025 review, stating global Internet traffic grew by 19%. Impressive? Sure. But then I looked at my inbox, which has been getting hammered with peak traffic alerts from our @DECIX locations.

3 Eras? Let's make it 4. 📈 Fantastic panel at #euroix43 moderated by Greg from @Nokia on the evolution of IXPs. He perfectly framed the last few years into three eras. I’d love to add the current state of play as the fourth pillar: NaaS.
