What is ECX and ECXF

Hello,
I have been reading the ECXF API documentation and I noticed that both "ECX" and "ECXF" abbreviations are used in the V3 APIs migration section. Are ECX and ECXF two separate products?

  • Hello there,

    Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric (ECXF) is the 3rd version of Cloud Exchange APIs.It is the successor to Equinix Cloud Exchange Version 2 APIs (ECX V2). Unlike its predecessors, the ECXF V3 APIs support inter-region and inter metro connectivity across the globe. Due to the complex network of multiple regions, it is called Fabric.
