The Djibouti Data Center (DDC) has announced that it has launched a new Internet Exchange point at its data centre facility in Djibouti.
The new IXP will allow existing customers, carriers, ISPs, and others to keep local traffic in East Africa local by reducing the need to exchange traffic at other peering points outside of the region.
The results will be reduced latency, faster connectivity, and lower costs for network operators and internet users in East Africa. The new DDC IXP will join DDC's portfolio of services including cable head access, hosting, colocation, and Vpop services.
The DDC IX will provide all port speeds up to 10Gbs using Juniper Technology.
