Headline
DE-CIX has launched its first Brazilian Internet Exchange in São Paulo across three data centres, offering enterprise-grade peering.
Context
DE-CIX , one of the world’s largest Internet Exchange (IX) operators, has officially launched its São Paulo IX in Brazil, marking its first full-scale entry into South America. The launch brings a new, enterprise-grade interconnection platform to Latin America’s largest economy, initially spanning three neutral data centres—Equinix SP4, Elea Digital SPO1, and Ascenty SP4. The exchange has already attracted 20 early participants, ranging from global carriers and local ISPs to content delivery networks. Among them is TBC Azion Technologies, a Brazilian edge-computing platform with infrastructure distributed across more than 100 data centres, which plans to leverage the IX for low-latency delivery of cloud and AI-driven services.

Analysis
Unlike traditional peering facilities that primarily connect local ISPs, DE-CIX São Paulo offers a full suite of interconnection services. These include: By embedding São Paulo into its global interconnection fabric, DE-CIX extends its reach across five continents. Traffic from São Paulo can now travel across DE-CIX’s international backbone, a network that already interconnects over 3,500 networks from 100+ countries. The launch of the São Paulo IX also complements DE-CIX’s earlier move into Rio de Janeiro, creating a two-hub Brazilian presence. Both sites are linked, giving participants in Rio or São Paulo the ability to interconnect transparently as part of a broader “DE-CIX Brazil” platform. This dual-city model mirrors DE-CIX’s approach in Europe, where it operates clusters across multiple metropolitan areas for redundancy and scalability.
