Constellix and DNS Made Easy deployed a New PoP in Mumbai, India at the GPX data center campus, adding to the world’s largest authoritative DNS network.

May 12, 2021 — DNS Made Easy and Constellix, the industry leaders of global DNS solutions, announced back in February the deployment of their latest point of presence (PoP) in GPX Mumbai, India. This successful deployment of a new PoP in Mumbai will serve the 1.4+ billion citizens of India and the surrounding countries.
“This additional capacity will be added to the already massive 500+ Gbps worldwide network that is dedicated to Authoritative DNS services,” says Steven Job, President of DNS Made Easy and Constellix.
With this new PoP deployment, DNS Made Easy and Constellix will have direct connections to the major transit providers in the region as well as direct connectivity to the largest peering exchange in India. Having surpassed 3,000 different peering networks in September of 2020, parent company Tiggee LLC continues to increase speeds and resilience by providing more peering for cost-effective, efficient network traffic exchange.
Third-party speed comparison sites, such as SolveDNS, have continuously reported DNS Made Easy and Constellix at the top in speeds as compared to other major managed DNS providers across the world month after month.
With over 560 million internet users, a 2019 report showed India as the second-largest online market in the world, ranked only behind China’s 854 million users. It was estimated that by 2023, there would be over 650 million internet users in India. Its government’s Digital India initiative, coupled with the already surging digital population in both India’s rural and urban areas, resulted in a leap to approximately 688 million active internet users, exceeding the initial 650 million estimation. This PoP deployment will facilitate optimal speed for the regional end-users.
Mumbai is one more region of the world where DNS Made Easy and Constellix is now #1 in speeds, redundancy, features, and price with a guaranteed 100% uptime.

Mumbai India, Dec 17, 2020 – GPX India has added the National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) to the GPX Interconnection Ecosystem. It is the 5th Internet Exchange operational at the GPX Mumbai Data Center campus, in addition to AMS-IX, Bharat IX, DE-CIX, and Extreme IX. GPX is the only Data Center in India with the presence of a total number of five Internet Exchanges.

GPX Data Center campus offers a “Carrier Content Cloud” rich neutral ecosystem comprising 12 Carriers, 140+ ISPs, 5 Internet Exchanges, 8 Cloud Service Providers, 9 CDNs, and leading global content providers. With the addition of NIXI to the rich Interconnection Ecosystem, GPXs’ customers now have the opportunity to connect to NIXI, the oldest and one of the most significant Internet Exchanges in the country for low-latency and cost-effective interconnection solutions to expand their reach. NIXI has played a pioneering role in being an enabler for improved interconnection between ISPs and Telecom Service Providers.
