DE-CIX North America hit yet another milestone in the first quarter of 2017. We surpassed 140 networks across our New York exchange, and our Dallas Exchange hit nearly two dozen networks within six months of its launch.
Our mandate is to offer and grow regional peering exchanges to help improve network performance across the Internet and we are pleased to see the market reception. As our ecosystem continues to grow in New York and Dallas, X-change, our North America quarterly newsletter, will share news about our network partners, the latest trends and solutions, our global activities and participation in upcoming events.
Feel free to contact me directly with any questions you may have about our Internet Exchanges, our peering model and how you can benefit from joining DE-CIX – where networks meet.
Most sincerely,
Ed d’Agostino
Vice President DE-CIX North America

SOLUTIONS
How to fight DDoS attacks: Three answers from DE-CIX
In the past months, massive DDoS attacks have been congesting networks and compromising Internet services all over the globe. DE-CIX provides three services that clearly mitigate and limit the impact of massive DDoS attacks:
-
First, DE-CIX’s Blackholing service enables networks to drop DDoS traffic before it reaches the attacked host.
-
Second, networks can use Remote Blackholing to get rid of DDoS traffic even closer to the source of origin.
-
Third, DE-CIX DirectCLOUD service enables networks to completely separate traffic destined to Cloud Service Providers such as Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure from Internet traffic, so that it is not affected by DDoS attacks at all.
DE-CIX's Blackholing white paper below shows results of the first ever IXP Blackholing study and explains why you should use Blackholing to mitigate DDoS attacks.
