DE-CIX has now deployed a switch in Cyxtera’s Chicago data center (ORD1). This deployment marks the first Internet Exchange to be available in any of the company’s Chicago data center facilities. The platform will be fully interconnected with the Cyxtera Digital Exchange, a multi-site layer 2 fabric extending access to Cyxtera’s ORD2 and ORD3 data centers, enabling seamless connectivity to customers from any of the three Cyxtera data center facilities serving the Chicago metro market.
