About Ruhr-CIX

Ruhr-CIX provides an interconnection ecosystem for the Ruhr region in Germany in order to fulfil the growing interconnection needs of companies and end users – for a better user experience, for better and secure cloud access, and for a more interconnected digital future. Our neutral interconnection platform allows networks to peer, to directly reach cloud service providers, and to use additional interconnection services. 

The cities of Dortmund, Bochum, and Gelsenkirchen are jointly establishing Ruhr-CIX with the aim to expand the local infrastructure, and to attract Internet companies to the Ruhr metropolitan region. Access to Ruhr-CIX platform is available in the data centers of DOKOM21, GLASFASER RUHR, and GELSEN-NET.
