Nov, 2024 : DE-CIX Launches Houston Internet Exchange with DataBank

📅 November 15, 2024 - DE-CIX, one of the worlds leading Internet exchange (IX) operators, has launched DE-CIX Houston, its sixth and southernmost Internet Exchange in the United States. The new IX, located at DataBanks Westway Park data center in Houston, would provide robust interconnection options for the region, addressing a significant connectivity gap in the largest U.S. city without a major IX relative to its market size.

The DE-CIX Houston exchange is connected to several key facilities, including HOU1, HOU2, HOU3, and the Galleria (HOU5). From Day 1, it offers low-latency connectivity to DE-CIX Dallas, which links over 150 networks, as well as access to other national and international DE-CIX [...][...

📅 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.

📅 May 20, 2026 - DataBank Names Kevin Ooley CEO as Martynek Steps Up - DataBank will name President and CFO Kevin Ooley as its next chief executive, replacing Raul Martynek in January 2027 after a decade that transformed the company from a regional colocation operator into one of the largest privately held data center platforms in the United States through acquisitions and large-scale expansion.

Leadership changes in digital infrastructure companies often signal turbulence. Or private equity impatience. Or missed numbers hidden beneath carefully worded statements.

This one feels different.

DataBank is changing CEOs after years of unusually aggressive growth, during a period when the economics of data centers have become larger, riskier, and considerably [...]

📅 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 14, 2026 - DataBank Adds Houston Solar Capacity Amid AI Power Surge - DataBank plans to install a 3.15MW rooftop solar array at its Houston HOU3 data center, adding onsite generation capacity as AI-related electricity demand intensifies pressure on US power markets. The company says the installation could become Houston's largest rooftop solar deployment while functioning less as environmental symbolism and more as long-term infrastructure risk management for operators facing volatile electricity economics today.

Data center operators have spent years talking about renewable energy. Usually from a distance. Power purchase agreements somewhere in rural America. Renewable energy certificates detached from the facilities actually consuming electricity. Enough [...]
