Mumbai (India), 21 May 2019. DE-CIX India’s Mumbai-IX has started offering 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) access at all enabled datacenters in the Indian metropolis. Mumbai IX as one of the leading Internet Exchanges in India is so for reacting to the increasing customer demand for more data capacity. Among the first customers upgrading to 100GE is the US-based Internet performance and security company Cloudflare.
