H5 Data Centers partners with DE-CIX

This strategic partnership empowers SAT-IX customers at H5 San Antonio to seamlessly connect and peer with networks in Dallas, all without the need for third-party transport solutions or remote cross connect charges.

"Our partnership with DE-CIX brings a new turnkey solution to the San Antonio market," said Josh Simms, CEO and owner of H5 Data Centers. "This enables networks in San Antonio to enjoy low-latency connectivity with major content providers in Dallas while simplifying the peering process."

San Antonio, located approximately 275 miles from Dallas, now benefits from access to DE-CIX Dallas, the premier peering platform in Texas. Despite the distance, the connection provided by DE-CIX Dallas remains the lowest latency option for accessing most content networks across the state.

“We’re excited to be supporting regional, non-DE-CIX exchanges, enhancing the availability to low-latency paths and lowering the cost to peer, all in an effort to close the digital divide. With this IX Turnkey Connectivity Program, exchanges in Tier 2 and 3 markets can now offer their local networks access to content and other networks that are only readily available in major metros. We’re thrilled to have SAT-IX as our first IX partner in the program,” said Ed d’Agostino, General Manager, DE-CIX North America.

This partnership provides San Antonio ISPs with direct access to a vast majority of content networks, ensuring faster and more reliable delivery of digital content to end users. Additionally, SAT-IX offers diverse connections to multiple DE-CIX Dallas switches, ensuring full redundancy and increased resiliency for network paths.
