PenangIX - Penang Internet Exchange

Penang IX, powered by DE-CIX, is an integral part of the DE-CIX Asia distributed interconnection ecosystem. Located in Penang, Malaysia, this Internet Exchange (PIX) is directly connected to DE-CIX Kuala Lumpur, enhancing regional connectivity and digital infrastructure. Penang, being one of Malaysia's most urbanized and economically vital states, benefits significantly from this strategic hub.

Penang IX offers a range of interconnection services, including peering, GlobePEER ASEAN, Microsoft Azure Peering Service, Private Interconnect, VirtualPNI, Cloud Connectivity, DirectCLOUD, and Cloud Router. These services facilitate efficient data exchange, lower network latency, and improve overall internet performance for local and regional networks.

The establishment of Penang IX aims to localize internet traffic exchange within Penang, allowing content providers to host their content locally. This strategic move is expected to drive the adoption of next-generation digital applications, particularly in IoT, VR, and IR4.0, fostering technological advancements and economic growth in the region.
