Enterprises accelerate cloud migration with direct access to Equinix Cloud Exchange via One Marketplace.
Equinix, Inc. and Global Capacity have announced a collaboration to provide enterprise customers with direct access to the many cloud service providers available on the Equinix Cloud Exchange™ via Global Capacity's One Marketplace™. Through a direct Ethernet connection from One Marketplace to the Equinix Cloud Exchange, enterprises gain high-performance access to multiple cloud services from the eight Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in which Global Capacity resides. And, because Global Capacity provides network access to 9.6 million commercial addresses, cloud service providers have the ability to extend their market reach to a larger enterprise audience.
"The secure, high-performance connectivity provided by One Marketplace to the Equinix Cloud Exchange allows enterprises to access the services needed to build sophisticated hybrid cloud solutions capable of supporting their business-critical operations and applications. With this solution, cloud providers such as AWS in Washington, D.C., are now easily accessible from nearby metropolitan centers such as New York," said Jim Poole, vice president, global service providers, Equinix.
