📅 Jul 1, 2026 - DE CIX Opens Stockholm AI Exchange For Nordic Cloud Traffic - DE CIX will launch an Internet and Cloud Exchange in Stockholm in September 2026, extending its Nordic footprint into Sweden and positioning the site for AI, cloud and real-time traffic from day one. The exchange, open for orders now, gives enterprises, carriers and cloud providers another local interconnection option in the region's largest colocation market, and beyond.

The new Stockholm exchange adds Sweden to DE CIX's Nordic buildout after launches in Denmark, Norway and Finland. The company began that regional expansion in 2023 with exchanges in Esbjerg, Copenhagen, Kristiansand, Oslo and Helsinki. Stockholm now becomes the missing obvious node. Not small. Not peripheral.

📅 Jun 5, 2026 - DE-CIX Boosts Mexico-Dallas Capacity Ahead of World Cup - DE-CIX has upgraded connectivity between Mexico and Dallas as networks prepare for heavy FIFA World Cup streaming traffic, after its Mexico exchange posted more than 400% traffic growth since early 2026 and peak usage near 300 Gbit/s, highlighting how live sports, gaming, enterprise workloads and cloud demand are reshaping cross-border internet infrastructure in North America now, quickly.

The upgrade is live. It connects DE-CIX's Mexico footprint more tightly with Dallas, one of the more important interconnection markets in the United States. The stated trigger was demand from Mexico-based networks looking for simpler routes into international data paths.

There is a World Cup angle, [...]

📅 May 14, 2026 - DE-CIX Joins Mplify Alliance to Advance AI Network Services - DE-CIX has joined the Mplify Alliance, becoming one of the earlier internet exchange operators to align with an industry effort around Network as a Service standards and automation. The move matters less as a membership announcement than as another sign that connectivity providers increasingly see software orchestration, APIs, and AI-era traffic patterns becoming core infrastructure products rather than supporting layers around them today.

Internet exchanges historically sat in a fairly defined place in the networking stack. Networks met there. Traffic crossed. Peering agreements happened. Capacity expanded. The mechanics mattered, but much of it stayed invisible outside carrier and [...]

📅 May 7, 2026 - 365 Data Centers Expands AI Capacity Across U.S. Markets - 365 Data Centers is partnering with Aphorio Carter to build roughly 200 megawatts of AI-ready data center capacity across multiple U.S. markets, adding to the growing wave of infrastructure projects targeting high-density compute workloads. Initial projects in Colorado and Kentucky are already under letters of intent, with additional expansion sites under evaluation across several regional markets nationwide.

The partnership reflects a larger shift underway in the data center industry. AI infrastructure demand is no longer concentrating exclusively inside hyperscale campuses owned by Amazon, Microsoft, or Google. Regional operators, colocation providers, and real estate-backed [...]

📅 May 7, 2026 - DE-CIX Redesigns New York Metro For AI Traffic Growth - DE-CIX has completed a substantial redesign of its New York metro platform, adding a quad-node architecture spanning New York and New Jersey as internet exchanges increasingly adapt to AI-driven traffic patterns and rising enterprise resilience demands. The operator says the upgrade strengthens redundancy, enables more advanced cross-river connectivity strategies, and prepares the platform for accelerating 400 Gigabit Ethernet adoption across the region.

The technical changes may sound incremental from the outside. More nodes. More redundancy. More optical flexibility.

But underneath, the upgrade reflects a broader shift happening inside major interconnection markets where latency [...]
