DE-CIX partners AdaniConneX to deploy new PoP at Chennai 1 data center
Interconnection platform operator DE-CIX will establish a new point-of-presence at AdaniConneX’s Chennai 1 data center under a new partnership as the companies look to deliver low-latency and high-performance digital infrastructure to various entities, according to a media statement released on Wednesday.
The development comes as enterprises, cloud providers, and digital platforms increasingly seek low-latency, high-performance infrastructure to support data localisation, cloud adoption, and increasingly data-intensive applications across India.
Through the new deployment, customers at Chennai 1 will gain direct access to DE-CIX India’s internet exchange, cloud connectivity, and enterprise networking services.
The partnership is expected to improve performance, reduce latency, and enhance user experience across digital services.
DE-CIX India operates internet exchanges across major Indian cities, including Mumbai, Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru.
The Chennai deployment extends DE-CIX India’s national interconnection ecosystem, enabling customers to connect with more than 600 networks, including telecom operators, internet service providers, content platforms, and global cloud companies.
“India’s digital economy is growing at an unprecedented pace. Building data centres is only part of the equation; they must also be seamlessly connected to the networks, cloud platforms and businesses that rely on them,” said Jeyakumar Janakaraj, CEO of AdaniConneX.
The chief executive added that the partnership strengthens the digital ecosystem that enterprises, content providers, and cloud platforms depend on.
AdaniConneX is a joint venture between the Adani Group and EdgeConneX.
“Our collaboration with AdaniConneX strengthens India’s digital infrastructure. By extending our interconnection platform to Chennai 1, we are enabling enterprises, cloud providers, and networks to access a resilient and scalable ecosystem,” said Sudhir Kunder, chief business officer of DE-CIX.
AdaniConneX and DE-CIX India will also explore opportunities to expand interconnection capabilities across additional campuses, according to a joint statement.
