The company is looking to take advantage of existing demand for peering among its customers in the two markets, VP of Product Development and Product Marketing Rose Klimovich said. "Our customers look for those kinds of functions in our facilities."
The exchanges will be ready for operation in July and the company has already begun courting customers. Telx has two more Internet exchanges in Phoenix, Ariz., and Atlanta, Ga. The new exchange service will allow the company to offer "one-stop" solutions for space, power and network interconnectivity.
Opening a new exchange in New York, however, has a purpose besides providing peering capabilities to Telx customers in the city. "Since most subsea cables either land in New York or in nearby states and are then backhauled to New York, an international Internet exchange in the region provides the fastest and most direct connection to traffic entering the U.S. from Europe," according to a company statement.
Telx will add peering capability in its New York facilities at 60 Hudson St. and 111 Eighth Ave.
"We have the most service provider and enterprise customers in the region," Klimovich said about Telx facilities in New York. "The problem in New York is there's no real center of gravity."
New York customers will be able to take advantage of interconnection with more than 400 ISP and enterprise customers located in those facilities. Dallas facilities with peering availability are at 2323 Bryan Street and 8345 Stemmons Freeway.
