Strengthening Global Connectivity: Private Peering Between Cologne and Chicago Datacenters
12. Dec 2025
Salman Toimur Chief Operating Officer
We are proud to announce a major advancement in our global infrastructure: the establishment of a private peering point between DE-COL-1 and US-CHI-1. This direct connection represents a significant step forward in how we deliver performance, reliability, and resilience across continents, reinforcing our commitment to building a truly global, high-performance network.
Private peering is more than just a technical milestone, it is a strategic investment in the quality of service we provide to our customers. By creating our own dedicated route between Europe and North America, we are reducing latency, improving bandwidth efficiency, and ensuring faster, more stable data flows across the Atlantic. This means applications run more smoothly, workloads are processed more efficiently, and customers experience a level of reliability that goes beyond what public internet paths can offer.
The advantages of this development are clear. Customers benefit from lower latency that enhances real-time applications, greater reliability through dedicated routing that avoids congestion, and enhanced security with traffic flowing across our controlled private backbone. In addition, this peering point strengthens our ability to scale, supporting growing workloads and future expansion seamlessly.
For businesses, partners, and end-users, this translates into tangible improvements: faster access to cloud services, more resilient connections during peak usage, and a stronger foundation for global collaboration. By bridging DE-COL-1 and US-CHI-1 directly, we are not only connecting two datacenters, but we are also connecting people, ideas, and opportunities across continents.
This achievement underscores our vision of continuous innovation. As demand for global connectivity grows, we are committed to staying ahead, investing in infrastructure that ensures our customers are always supported by the fastest, most reliable, and most secure routes available.
The journey of innovation continues, and this private peering point is another milestone in building a network that is ready for the future.
