The CL-IX was established in 2020 as a neutral Internet exchange at H5 Data Centers’ downtown Cleveland data center campus. Our mission is to facilitate the peering of domestic and international Internet traffic in Cleveland and Ohio generally.
The CL-IX is designed to support the growing peering community of communications carriers, cloud service providers and content delivery networks at 1625 Rockwell Ave. and throughout the state of Ohio.
The CL-IX can support GigE, 10GbE or 100GbE port speeds and we offer optional route server access for peering.

About the Ohio IX
Ohio provides less than six hours travel time by ground to more of the US population than any other major region. This accessible location provides a natural corridor for the next generation, high capacity infrastructure needed to power America’s broadband and strategic location for Ohio IX. Through Ohio IX, major telecoms, content providers and enterprises work together to efficiently exchange Internet traffic and provide mutual network access. By doing so, costs are reduced, network performance is increased and overall system robustness is enhanced.
