We’ve joined forces with Giga —an initiative by UNICEF and the International Telecommunication Union — to bridge the digital divide. This collaboration through the Equinix Foundation will help realize the Giga mission of connecting every school worldwide to the internet by 2030. It’s an exciting time to create a more accessible, equitable, and interconnected digital future for everyone, everywhere. Check out the press release here.  Today, nearly half of the world’s schools remain offline, depriving over 1.3 billion children of the resources and opportunities that digital connectivity provides. This challenge is not just about access; it’s about fostering equality, unlocking potential, and paving the way for a more inclusive future.  As part of this three-year collaboration, Giga will leverage Equinix’s robust global infrastructure in its quest to identify connectivity gaps, deliver internet access to remote and underserved schools, and improve onlin

Hi, I'm using the reports v1 API to generate ONE_TIME reports and every time the report is finished, I get an email telling me as much. However, I want to prevent this email from going out every time. I've figured out that I can use the parameters array with name notifyEmails to add additional emails that should be notified but I can't seem to be able to remove the email tied to my account. Is there any way to achieve what I want?

Hey Community! We often get questions about Fabric Cloud Router and we’re here to help clarify for others who might have the same question in the future. If you’ve got additional questions about FCR, ask them in Community!What is a Digital Services Agreement (DSA)? The Digital Services Agreement is a document that is presented to users when setting up a Billing Account to order digital services like Fabric Cloud Router. If this is your first time ordering digital services with Equinix and you do not have an existing Billing Account (or sometimes called a Cloud Billing Account), you’ll be directed to digitally sign the DSA.If you're creating additional Billing Accounts, you will be asked whether you want to use an existing Digital Services Agreement or sign a new Digital Services Agreement. If you need guidance on either DSA option, please review this documentation.[Example only for reference and may not reflect latest version of DSA]  I’m a new customer; do I need to sign a Fabric DSA?

Those looking to explore Nutanix on Equinix Metal are likely to have two concerns in mind: ease of migration and security.Thankfully, two examples have recently been added to the Equinix Terraform directory that demonstrate exactly how a user can accomplish these two things.Nutanix Clusters Setup and Protection Policy - walks a user through creating two Nutanix Clusters on Equinix Metal rapidly, create a protection policy between them, and then practice creating a VM in one cluster and migrating it to the other cluster. Nutanix on Equinix Metal with Active Directory Authentication - helps a user create a cluster on Equinix, add an AD server VM, configure AD authentication, and map a few sample roles to the AD. Both examples use a combination of Terraform and manual Prism console steps, promoting understanding while deploying with speed and convenience.  Consider walking through these examples if you're interested in exploring Nutanix on Equinix Metal or learning more about ma
