CyrusOne Lights Up National IX in Chicago and Northern Virginia

CyrusOne lit up connections from its data centers in Chicago and northern Virginia to its high-performance National Internet Exchange (National IX) network. Other high-demand locations already part of the CyrusOne National IX ecosystem include Phoenix in the West and multiple sites in the South, including Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

“Lighting up our sites in Chicago and Northern Virginia is very indicative of demand areas in our business,” said Josh Snowhorn, vice president and general manager of interconnection, CyrusOne. “Northern Virginia recently overtook New York/New Jersey as the top data center market in the country, with an estimated 70 percent of Internet traffic passing through Loudon County, where our data center is located. And adding one of the most crucial carrier hotels in Chicago to our ecosystem enables us all—CyrusOne, our customers, our partners—to better interconnect in the Midwest.”
