Save more while enjoying the high performance connectivity you rely on
We're excited to introduce Equinix Fabric Term-Based Discounts for inter-metro i.e. remote virtual connections (VCs) between your own assets and to your service providers including hyperscalers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle. This new pricing option is designed to help you save more while enjoying the high-performance connectivity you rely on.
What's New?
You now have the option to select 12, 24, or 36-month contracts for inter-metro VCs from your Fabric ports, Network Edge virtual devices and Fabric Cloud Router instances. Here's how you'll benefit:
- Lower Monthly Rates: Save between 15% and 50% compared to on-demand pricing. For example, a 1 Gbps inter-metro virtual connection between London to New York drops from $1005/month to just $503/month with a 36-month term-based plan. See how much you can save using the Fabric pricing calculator, accessible via the Fabric portal.
- Simple Provisioning: No approvals required. Just select your term in the self-service portal or Fabric API and enjoy the savings.
- Broad Capability Support: Applicable across Point-to-Point (EPL & EVPL), Multipoint-to-Multipoint (EP-LAN & EVP-LAN) and IP-WAN services supported by Fabric Cloud Router. Also supported for Z-side service tokens.
- Predictable Cost Structure: Term based contracts provided set monthly rates, making it easier for you to manage your annual budget.
Things to Note
- Discounts are available only for inter-metro VCs (intra-metro i.e. local VCs are not eligible.
- Discounts are currently not supported on Network Edge virtual devices to AWS, but are coming soon.
- Term-based discounts cannot be added to existing VCs, so you’ll need to create a new VC with your chosen term.
Why This Matters
By locking in discounted rates, you can optimize costs and achieve predictable spending without sacrificing performance, reliability, or flexibility. This is the perfect opportunity to create cost-efficient connectivity solutions tailored to the demands of your business.
