DE-CIX Frankfurt Connect
As of the beginning of January 2018, BCIX has entered a cooperation with DE-CIX, with the aim of interconnecting existing peers with the other exchange. A direct connection between the local IXP LANs is not planned, however DE-CIX services can now be made available at BCIX via VLAN. The following services are available:
- DE-CIX Frankfurt GlobePeer
- MetroVLAN
- DirectCloud
- Access port in Frankfurt for connecting to BCIX services (see above)
Several bandwidth options between 100 Mbit/s and 10 Gbit/s are available for transporting data between Berlin and Frankfurt.
Due to the multitude of options we ask you to contact sales@bcix.de with your detailed request so we can send you a quote.
Examples:
- An existing BCIX peer wants to peer with 1Gbit/s at DE-CIX Frankfurt: 500€ monthly + 400€ setup
- An existing BCIX peer needs a DirectCloud connection with 100Mbit/s: 95€ monthly + 400€ setup
- A peer in Frankfurt currently not connected to DE-CIX wants to peer at BCIX with 1Gbit/s: 550€ monthly + 1000€ setup
