Navigating the world of cloud computing often feels like trying to bridge several different islands. You’ve got your private data centers, your AWS instances, your Azure workloads, and maybe some Google Cloud services—all running on their own logic. In our latest video (Part 2 of our Tech Talk series!), we go beyond the "why" and dive deep into the how. We’re talking about the actual architecture required to make these disparate environments feel like one seamless, fail-safe network.

As quantum computing moves from research labs into the enterprise, it introduces a critical threat to current public key encryption through "harvest now, decrypt later" attacks. In this episode of Interconnected, experts from Equinix and Accenture discuss how to navigate this transition by building a quantum-safe security roadmap and embracing crypto-agility. You’ll learn how to protect critical infrastructure—from power grids to cloud platforms—by modernizing your security posture today. Watch the full video to discover how to future-proof your digital infrastructure against the quantum reality.

The race for AI dominance isn't just about who has the most GPUs; it’s about where those GPUs live and how fast you can connect to them. While many providers struggle with the logistical hurdles of global expansion, Nebius is rewriting the playbook. By leveraging a distributed architecture and private, high-performance connectivity via Equinix, they’ve deployed massive GPU clusters globally in a matter of months rather than years. This isn’t just a win for speed; it’s a massive unlock for enterprise-grade reliability. In our latest video, we dive into how this distributed model provides a critical "cloud on-ramp" that balances raw power with regional control. You’ll see how Nebius is leveraging dense interconnection to offer early access to high-demand hardware, such as NVIDIA H200 GPUs, in Europe, while ensuring sensitive data remains compliant with local sovereignty re

Most enterprises hit a wall when they try to scale hybrid cloud using public internet or siloed designs. The result? Inconsistent performance and security blind spots. In our latest Tech Talk session, we break down: The Complexity Trap: Why fragmented connectivity fails at scale. Predictable Performance: How to move away from the unpredictability of the public internet. Standardization: The roadmap to a future-ready network foundation. Don't let inconsistent architecture hold back your digital transformation.

Essentially what the title says. I'm attempting to programmatically get the list of colocation users and their roles/permissions. It doesn't appear there's an easy way to do this with the existing API. That said, when I view my users in the portal ordinarily, I see GET /api/ecp/users/getUsersSo it's definitely there, I'm assuming it's just not available to normal users, only to Equinix internally. Any chance someone here has an idea?

Interconnection is the invisible engine of the digital economy, enabling the exchange of information between systems, clouds, networks, partners, and users. At its core, interconnection means connecting two or more parties together so data can move between them. Yet the term is too often used only to describe private, direct links that bypass the public internet. While private connectivity is essential and the preferred option for business-critical traffic, this limited view doesn't reflect how enterprises operate in a highly distributed, cloud-first world.  Today’s digital infrastructure spans multiple public clouds, SaaS platforms, partner ecosystems, and edge locations. Users connect from anywhere. In this environment, no single connectivity model meets every need. Some workloads demand tightly controlled, predictable performance. Others require broad reach and flexible access. In practice, interconnection encompasses both private and public connectivity working toget

Think quantum is still "years away"? Think again. In our latest episode of Interconnected, we explore why the risk of being too late to quantum computing now outweighs the risk of being too early. What’s inside: Strategic Risk: Why quantum is now a business imperative, not a research project. Getting Started: How to use pilots and cloud-based access to build a "quantum-ready" team. Expert Perspectives: Insights from Nobel Prize-winning physicists on the future of enterprise architecture. Don't wait for full commercialization to sta

Are you an AI skeptic or an enthusiast? I recently sat down with Ethan Banks and Drew Conry-Murray to dig into the reality of AI within the network—moving past the hype to talk about real-world implementation. In this episode, we dive deep into the evolving architecture of Equinix Fabric. We discuss why APIs are becoming the "new CLI" and why deep observability is no longer optional in an AI-driven environment. I also share how we’re leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to shift AI from simply giving advice to actively executing tasks on your behalf.

For too long, the "edge connectivity gap" has slowed down digital transformation, but a new collaboration is finally breaking that barrier. By integrating Resolute NEXUS™ with Equinix Fabric®, enterprises can now automate the design, pricing, and ordering of global last-mile access directly through the Equinix portal. This move effectively unifies the cloud-to-edge experience, providing the high-performance, distributed infrastructure needed for next-generation AI workloads.  To see how this partnership is simplifying private access to thousands of network providers across 180 countries, read the full press release here.

The Internet is a network of networks. And it’s the connections between these networks that can transform a local business into a global enterprise. From the early days of the Internet, Equinix has been one of the primary places where these connections happen. Equinix has made nearly half a million interconnections between the 10,000 companies using its 270 data centers around the world, making it a key player in the growth of colocation services and cloud computing.

I have an FCR connected to one OCI connection and two AWS connections.From AWS to OCI, passing through FCR, I see that AWS is implementing ECMP towards OCI prefixes, as evidenced by the RX traffic on the FCR coming from these two connections.In FCR active routes, I am seeing the same prefixes learned from these two AWS connections.If I look at the contrary (TX) from FCR to AWS (from traffic that originated in OCI), I always see TX to AWS using only one AWS connection, never the other one.Support says that it is not working because OCI has only one connection to FCR.As far as I know, ECMP is implemented hop by hop, and it is a local decision implemented independently at each router (hop) in the network, that is why I do not agree with this statement.For me is the function of FCR implement ECMP in this case for these packets coming from OCI to AWS. 

Hello Equinix Community, Apologies in advance if this is a repeated question but my search didn't find any relevant topics. We have upgrade planned for our router in Chicago which is connected to Equinix IX. What is the best method of informing IX participants about the maintenance activity? We have a lot of peers on the IX so informing them individually will be very cumbersome.Thanks

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has moved beyond the lab and is now the engine of digital transformation, driving everything from real-time customer experiences to supply chain automation. Yet, the true performance of an AI model—its speed, reliability, and cost-efficiency doesn't just depend on the GPUs or the data science; it depends fundamentally on the network. For Network Architects, AI workloads present a new and complex challenge: how do you design a network that can handle the massive, sustained bandwidth demands of model training while simultaneously meeting the ultra-low-latency, real-time requirements of model inference? The wrong architecture can lead to GPU clusters sitting idle, costs skyrocketing, and AI projects stalling. In this deep-dive, we tackle the seven most critical networking questions for building a high-performance, cost-optimized AI infrastructure: What are the networking differences between AI training and inferencing? Ho

Autonomous technology is no longer a futuristic dream; it's rapidly becoming our reality.
