The Challenge:Connecting enterprise locations across Europe often requires enterprises to engage infrastructure and network providers separately. Navigating multiple systems and coordinating service availability, pricing, quotes and orders can add complexity, slow deployment and AI adoption, and put growth at risk.A Better Approach:Colt Technology Services (Colt) is now the first European-based provider to integrate its last mile connectivity services with Fabric Marketplace. This strengthened partnership brings together Colt’s extensive network footprint and Equinix Fabric, enabling enterprises to establish secure, end-to-end connectivity from third-party locations, including office buildings and data centers, directly into Equinix facilities.Through the Fabric Marketplace experience, customers can instantly discover Colt services, view pricing, request quotes, and trigger order requests without navigating multiple providers. The integration eliminates manual handoffs, accelerates dep

Hello,I would like to know whether Equinix offers a Web Application Firewall (WAF) service as part of its portfolio.Specifically, I am interested in: Does Equinix provide a native or managed WAF solution? Is WAF available through Equinix partners or Marketplace? Which WAF vendors or technologies are supported (e.g. F5, Cloudflare, Imperva, Akamai)? Can WAF be integrated with Equinix Fabric and other Equinix services? Is there a managed security service option, including monitoring and protection against OWASP Top 10 threats? I would appreciate any information about available solutions, architecture options and pricing models.Thank you!

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

The Challenge:As traffic volumes continue to grow, organizations need greater bandwidth capacity across their interconnected environments to support data-intensive applications, cloud connectivity, and distributed workloads. Existing bandwidth limits can create constraints as network requirements scale.A Better Approach:Equinix Fabric now supports up to 50 Gbps bandwidth for connections into multipoint networks, doubling the previous maximum supported capacity of 25 Gbps. This enhancement enables customers to support higher traffic volumes while maintaining the flexibility and reach of multipoint connectivity.When to Use This:When existing multipoint network connections require additional bandwidth capacity When supporting high-volume application, cloud, or data traffic across interconnected environments When planning for network growth and future capacity requirements When consolidating connectivity onto higher-capacity multipoint network connections When seeking greater scalability a
Digital sovereignty is often discussed as though more must always be better.More control. More independence. Fewer external providers and dependencies.But every additional control has a cost. It can increase operational complexity, limit access to useful services or create new dependencies that are less visible than the ones being removed.The better question is not: How do we make everything sovereign?It is: How much sovereignty does each workload actually need? Start with the consequencesSovereignty matters because of what could happen when another party has too much influence over something important.For each workload, ask:What if an unauthorized party gained access to its data? What if the service became unavailable? What if a provider changed its terms, pricing or technology direction? What if regulation or geopolitics restricted continued use? How difficult would it be to move, replace or operate the workload elsewhere?The answers will differ. A public website, collaboration platf

Equinix is pleased to announce the publication of a new commissioned Forrester Consulting Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) of Equinix Networking Solutions. The study examines the potential business value organizations can realize by leveraging Equinix Networking Solutions, including Equinix Fabric®, Fabric Cloud Router, and Network Edge.Based on interviews with customers using Equinix Networking Solutions, Forrester found that a composite organization achieved a 190% return on investment (ROI), $2.1 million net present value (NPV), and $3.1 million in risk-adjusted present value benefits over three years.Why it MattersAs cloud adoption accelerates and AI workloads become increasingly distributed across clouds, enterprise environments, partners, and sovereign regions, organizations face growing networking complexity. Traditional networking approaches built around dedicated circuits, physical infrastructure, and lengthy provisioning cycles often struggle to deliver the agility, scalability,
Problem StatementCustomers who collaborate across multiple enterprises/accounts use Service Tokens to facilitate Equinix Fabric connectivity workflows. While Service Tokens can be shared and redeemed between different organizations, the current API appears to restrict retrieval and validation of Service Token details to the account context in which the token was created. When attempting to query a Service Token generated by another enterprise, the API GET /fabric/v4/serviceTokens/{serviceTokenId} returns an error rather than providing token status or metadata.Customer Use CaseA receiving enterprise needs to validate the authenticity and status of a Service Token that was generated and shared by another enterprise before proceeding with provisioning workflows. Customers would like to programmatically verify:Whether the Service Token is valid Whether the token has been redeemed or remains available Allowed bandwidth Associated location/metro Relevant token attributes and parameters Expir
