DE-CIX Dallas deploys a switch at 2323 Bryan Street in Dallas, Texas
NEW YORK, June 14, 2022 – DE-CIX, the world’s leading neutral Internet Exchange (IX) operator, announces it has upgraded and enhanced its partnership with Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR), installing a switch at 2323 Bryan Street in downtown Dallas, Texas. This news comes on the heels of an announcement DE-CIX made with LOGIX Fiber Networks, enabling turnkey access to DE-CIX Dallas from throughout the region over LOGIX’s extensive network.
DE-CIX and Digital Realty have a long-established relationship. Digital Realty’s data centers located at 60 Hudson Street and 111 8th Avenue in New York were two of the original points of presence (PoPs) for DE-CIX New York when launched in 2014.

The switch deployed at 2323 Bryan Street brings DE-CIX Dallas directly to the location and allows DE-CIX to offer customers increased capacity.
“Expanding our relationship with Digital Realty in Dallas, Texas was an easy decision. Now Digital Realty’s large community of networks can directly access the largest neutral IX in the Southwest with turnkey access to DE-CIX New York, the number one IX in that market,” comments Ed d’Agostino, VP and GM for DE-CIX North America. “It’s been great to work with Digital Realty, a global player who sees the value of establishing an open connectivity community.”
