The ECIX Story — All About our Peering Customers

When building ECIX, we have always been driven by customer and internet industry requirements. It’s our customers that are the driving force behind our decisions to expand the ECIX footprint and services. Ultimately, we entered into this acquisition to provide our peering partners, and the internet industry, a greater future, and access to a network outside of our existing market. We didn’t make the conscious decision to be a disruptive brand. When we realised there was a monopoly or an imbalance in the market, we decided to challenge it in our own way. This meant listening to the industry and going to locations and markets where peers needed us to go. Ultimately, our footprint grew as a result of clear demand.
