Equinix® Fabric One™ is now available in preview, giving eligible Equinix Fabric customers a simpler way to provision and manage connectivity across supported endpoints. Customers specify what they need to connect and how much capacity they need. Fabric One determines which connections are required, where to establish them and how much capacity to allocate to each, then automates provisioning and removing the need for customers to design the network topology or configure individual connections themselves.Once deployed, Fabric One manages that connectivity as a single service, reducing the work of maintaining individual connections. This intent-driven approach helps customers spend less time managing connectivity and more time supporting the applications and services that depend on it. Fabric One is designed to connect clouds, networks, AI providers, partners and infrastructure through Equinix’s global interconnection platform.During the preview, eligible customers can evaluate Fabric O
