DE-CIX also announced that it will be adding three new facilities to its New York network, as well as a new Customer Advisory Board for its North American operations. Steven Schecter, Senior Manager of Network Architecture at Akamai Technologies, has been appointed as the first member of the Customer Advisory Board.
