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. Seeing their pace with automation software, 800G+ scales, and new protocols like Ultra Ethernet is seriously impressive.
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.
I am incredibly proud that DE-CIX plays a direct role in keeping them one of the best-connected networks globally. Strong partners make for strong infrastructure.
25 Jahre SwissIX. Wer sich so lange und erfolgreich in unserer Branche behauptet, ist unbestreitbar das Rückgrat des Schweizer Internets! Gratulation! 💪🍾
Es ist uns eine große Freude, dass DE-CIX seit drei Jahren als technischer Partner für den Plattformbetrieb unseren Teil zu dieser Erfolgsgeschichte beitragen kann. Wir haben das gestrige Jubiläum genutzt, um gemeinsam die Köpfe zusammenzustecken und die strategischen Themen der Zukunft anzusprechen.
Einmal im Jahr wagen wir uns aus den klimatisierten Serverräumen ans Tageslicht. Der eco Datacenter Expert Summit steht wieder an. Es ist immer wieder spannend zu beobachten, was passiert, wenn Infrastruktur-Betreiber, Wissenschaftler und Politiker in einem Raum zusammenkommen. Spoiler: Die Latenz bei Diskussionen ist erfreulich gering und der Austausch tatsächlich konstruktiv.
Das absolute Highlight ist natürlich die abendliche Award-Verleihung für die besten Innovationen der Branche.
Your Google Cloud AI is only as smart as the data it can reach. 🧠☁️
Having a great time today at the Google Cloud Summit in Frankfurt!
AI is dominating the conversation, and for good reason: it's making developers 40% faster with 20% better quality. But AI doesn't work independently. It requires seamless access to massive, distributed data sources to function.
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 debuted a panel to debate "The Future of Peering" (massive shoutout to @marc Korthaus, @Peter Hansen, and @klaus Landefeld). The takeaway is clear: Peering remains the bedrock, but with Cloud Connectivity, MAPS, and Google VPP joining the party, the ecosystem is evolving fast.
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.
Our mission? To make Network as a Service (NaaS) interoperability completely seamless across the globe. Less friction, less waiting, more automation.

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.
The fix? Go cloud-native. Keep your CapEx low and your time-to-market lightning fast with a virtual router—or as we call it, the @DE-CIX Cloud ROUTER.
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.
They asked me to shoot some video statements for their upcoming marketing push. After 12 years of successful teamwork, you can’t exactly say no! I’m more than happy to help them spread the word. 🎥🚀
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!
If you are using AWS, we probably have a fast lane for you. We are currently running 25 Cloud On-Ramps to all major AWS regions globally (from eu-central-1 all the way to ap-southeast-5), pushing a massive total capacity of over 1,000GE.
Planning to run workloads in the EU Sovereign Cloud?
