Milano servers in the Irideos Milano datacenter

Milano is the gravitational center of the Italian internet. MIX (Milan Internet eXchange) is by far the largest peering point in Italy, and virtually every major Italian ISP, content network, and CDN has presence there. Our Milano deployment sits in the Irideos Milano datacenter — a Tier III+ facility on the outskirts of the metro with direct fiber to MIX and the Caldera campus.

Milano is the right answer for Italian-targeted workloads: domestic e-commerce, Italian SaaS platforms, regional gaming communities, and any workload where sub-5 ms latency to Italian ISPs (TIM, Fastweb, WindTre, Vodafone Italia) is meaningful. It's also a strong choice for Swiss, Maltese, and Adriatic-coast traffic.

Latency values are approximate, based on typical fiber routing between metros. Real-world RTT varies with carrier path, traffic, and TCP retransmission.

Best for

Workloads that benefit most from a Milano deployment.

Italian e-commerce and B2C platforms where domestic MIX peering beats Frankfurt-hosted competitors on every page-load metric for Italian users.

Adriatic-coast businesses (Slovenia, Croatia coastline, Albania) where Milano often beats Frankfurt by 10-15 ms.

Swiss-market workloads that need EU-jurisdiction hosting — Milano is the closest major EU peering hub to Zurich and Geneva.

What datacenter is used in Milano?+
Milano servers are deployed in the Irideos Milano datacenter, a Tier III+ carrier-neutral facility with direct fiber connectivity to MIX (Milan Internet eXchange).
Should I choose Milano or Frankfurt for Italian users?+
Milano. The latency difference for Italian end-users is 15-20 ms — and that's a noticeable hit on every TCP round-trip, every database query, every API call. For Italian-majority audiences, Milano is meaningfully better.
What does MIX peer with?+
MIX peers with all major Italian ISPs (TIM, Fastweb, WindTre, Vodafone Italia), Swiss carriers, San Marino's domestic provider, and major content networks. For domestic Italian traffic, MIX-hosted servers reach end-user ISPs in 2-5 ms.
