How is Equinix
Cloud Exchange
unique?
™
“[Equinix Cloud Exchange] provides
organizations with a cutting-edge
interconnected exchange of various
best-of-breed global clouds and
networks on an as-needed basis.
This is accomplished through a
networking fabric managed by
Equinix that controls the ingress and
egress of traffic.”

"Equinix's ability to provide on-demand and
direct access to multiple types of clouds —
hybrid, public and private — as well as
connections to multiple destinations from
their data center locations is critical in
helping our customers improve their
business performance."
Graham Taylor
Senior Vice President of Marketing, TW Telecom

“Equinix’s international reputation and its
excellence in premium data center provisioning
helps us stand out in the market. We’ve noticed a
big difference in customers’ confidence in our
services since being deployed in Equinix’s data
center.”
David Loke, CEO and Co-Founder of ReadySpace

"Expanding our relationship with Equinix enables
our customers to use our cloud and Big Data
solutions in a more secure, predictable, and highperformance manner via the combination of our
Cloud Bridge option plugged into the Equinix
Cloud Exchange."

“We’ve worked closely with Equinix to design an
intelligent, open and programmable network architecture
that delivers elastic, high-speed, high-performance for
inter- and intra- data center connectivity. Equinix Cloud
Exchange customers in major markets worldwide will have
access to affordable, private connectivity on demand to
support their cloud and network service requirements.”

““Equinix is a clear competitive
differentiator for us. Having all those Tier 1
provider paths available to me is huge. If
our public cloud provider is ever not
available, we can continue to serve our
customers through [Equinix’s direct
connection]. Equinix allows us to expand
into areas not served by a direct
connection to the cloud.””
CTO and co-founder of Badgeville

What makes an
Equinix IBX
different?
“The direct connection we got to the
Amazon cloud in Equinix allowed us
to migrate our infrastructure to our
own machines while maintaining
reliable, low-latency access to legacy
systems in AWS”

Director of Site Reliability Engineering at Foursquare

Scaling Cloud
“By combining Level 3’s network
with the Equinix Cloud Exchange,
we are making it easier for our
customers to grow and improve
the efficiency of their business
operations with access to a
broader range of cloud services.
With pre-established network-tonetwork interfaces (NNIs) from
Level 3 to Equinix, combined with
Level 3’s dynamic bandwidth
capability, customers can quickly
turn up and scale their cloud
solutions.

extremely high level of service. Because of
the high-quality data centers and the
network connectivity and diversity that we
have access to, we definitely look at
Equinix as a foundational partner in
delivering our services to our customers.”

Cloud Made Simple
"As a company that specializes in
cloud infrastructure and open
data services, we understand the
many intricacies that are
incorporated into developing
successful cloud strategies. The
Equinix Cloud Exchange
simplifies the process of
establishing hybrid cloud
deployments by connecting
enterprises and services
providers, delivering the many
benefits associated with cloud
environments.”

Pre-Equinix Cloud Solution
“In the pre-ECX model, an enterprise
customer that wanted to establish
direct connection to AWS or Microsoft
Azure would need to purchase
separate ports and direct connections
to connect to multiple cloud vendors,
thus increasing the cost and
complexity, while managing multicloud deployments.”
Cloud With Equinix
“ECX (Equinix Cloud Exchange) simplifies
the process of private network
connectivity to cloud providers as it allows
customers to use a single port and
establish separate virtual circuits to a
cloud supplier’s network.”
“The edge equipment from multiple
vendors is further interconnected within
the ECX that enables cloud users to
seamlessly move workloads among their
own servers and multiple vendor clouds.”
Roopashree Honnachari, Industry Director, Cloud Computing &
Business Communication Services , Frost & Sullivan

“The value that Equinix brings to us is
the ability to minimize downtime when
implementing a new deployment. With
its rich global ecosystem, Unitas has
the opportunity to cross-connect to
over 900 networks, driving network
performance and significantly lowering
bandwidth costs.”
Grant Kirkwood
Founder and CEO, Unitas Global

Galerie with Equinix Cloud
Exchange, we are expanding our
award-winning service to cover
additional data centers and

gives our customers the ability to
choose from the best combination
of cloud infrastructure, platform

Foursquare’s cloud. We gained direct access to
AWS and are ideally positioned to add to our
