Equinix Selected As DE-CIX Enabled Site in Frankfurt

Equinix, a provider of network-neutral datacenters and internet exchange services, has partnered with DE-CIX, the main exchange point for internet services between international internet service providers in Germany, Central and Eastern Europe.

Equinix and DE-CIX have reached an agreement where Equinix’s Frankfurt2 facility will become a DE-CIX enabled site during the first quarter of 2008.

The site will provide datacenter services to telecommunications operators, internet network providers and internet service providers. The facility covers high available datacenter space with secured and lasting power supplies, air-conditioning, security and fire protection for power-intensive high-density installations.

Harro Beusker, managing director of Germany at Equinix, said: “To be DE-CIX enabled in Frankfurt is great news and confirms our position as the leading company in the datacenter market in Germany. DE-CIX is for us a very important business partner for Central and Eastern Europe. We are proud to be providing our best in class services. It is a tribute to our reputation for world-class reliability and diversity.”
