The STT building is one of the key hubs that provide India with international connectivity. This is the third point of presence (PoP) of Mumbai-IX in the metro market. The carrier and data centre-neutral IX serves around 90 providers and has recently passed the 100Gbps peak traffic threshold.
Mumbai-IX, the first DE-CIX Exchange on the Indian sub-continent, connects all kinds of internet providers, including broadband providers, content delivery networks, and cloud companies. The company facilitates the direct and settlement-free exchange of internet traffic between all participants and it is the first IXP fully-licensed by the Department of Telecommunications, as well as being the only Indian IXP that has been awarded the prestigious Open-IX certification.
“We are excited to be able to expand into the STT carrier hotel, allowing all networks in the building to benefit from the Mumbai-IX offering. We will install our award winning DE-CIX Internet Exchange infrastructure to allow maximum scalability and robustness for Mumbai-IX,” said Ivo Ivanov, board member of the Mumbai-IX operating company, DE-CIX Interwire India.
This core node of Mumbai-IX will provide premium IXP services, backed by industry-leading service level agreements (SLAs).
The IXP is soon to launch in additional key markets in India.
