New York, United States - April 21, 2026 - DE-CIX has expanded its data center interconnection footprint at 60 Hudson Street in New York, enhancing connectivity within one of the world’s most established carrier-neutral facilities.
The expansion includes the integration of the QTD1 data center, operated by Quantum to Digital, into DE-CIX’s interconnection ecosystem. The move allows customers within the building to directly access DE-CIX’s Internet Exchange (IX) services, enabling faster and more efficient data exchange.
By extending its platform inside 60 Hudson Street, DE-CIX aims to simplify interconnection for enterprises, carriers, and cloud providers. The integration reduces the need for complex external connections, allowing customers to establish direct cross-connects within the facility. This results in lower latency, improved network performance, and faster provisioning times.
60 Hudson Street is widely regarded as a key interconnection hub in North America, hosting a dense concentration of telecommunications providers, cloud platforms, and digital service companies. The addition of QTD1 further strengthens the building’s role as a central node for global data traffic.
The expansion reflects growing demand for scalable and high-performance interconnection solutions as digital infrastructure evolves. With the rapid growth of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and data-intensive applications, data centers are increasingly dependent on seamless and low-latency connectivity between networks.
Company representatives highlighted that expanding within existing data center ecosystems allows DE-CIX to bring its services closer to customers, improving operational efficiency and reducing deployment complexity. The approach also supports faster time to market for businesses requiring robust interconnection capabilities.
The collaboration with Quantum to Digital underscores the importance of partnerships between interconnection providers and data center operators. By embedding exchange services directly within facilities, companies can create more integrated and flexible connectivity environments.
The move aligns with a broader industry trend in which interconnection is becoming a critical component of data center infrastructure. As workloads become more distributed and performance-sensitive, proximity to major exchange points is increasingly essential.
With this expansion, DE-CIX is strengthening its presence in the United States while reinforcing the role of 60 Hudson Street as a vital hub in the global data center and interconnection landscape.
