Connect with Zenlayer Through Fabric Marketplace: When to Use it and What to Expect
The Challenge:
Organizations expanding into new markets often need connectivity to edge locations and third-party data centers beyond the native reach of their existing network infrastructure. Finding local providers and coordinating services across multiple countries can add complexity and delay deployment.
As connectivity needs grow, customers benefit from a simpler way to identify providers with broad geographic reach and initiate connectivity services through a centralized experience.
A Better Approach:
Zenlayer is now available through Fabric Marketplace as a provider of Last Mile as a Service (LMaaS), enabling customers to discover coverage, request quotes, submit order requests and connect to Zenlayer’s network through the same experience used to access Fabric services.
With more than 300 points of presence across 50 countries, Zenlayer provides extensive connectivity coverage, particularly across Southeast Asia, China, the Middle East, and Central and South Africa. This reach helps organizations connect locations in emerging markets while reducing the complexity of sourcing and managing multiple local providers.
By bringing provider discovery, quoting, ordering and interconnection together within Fabric Marketplace, customers can streamline the process of extending connectivity to locations outside of Equinix.
When to Use This:
- When connecting disparate data center deployments in multiple locations
- When expanding into emerging or difficult-to-reach markets
- When supporting distributed operations across multiple countries
- When extending an existing Equinix Fabric deployment beyond its current destinations
- When seeking a provider with broad global coverage through Fabric Marketplace
