Discover Fabric Marketplace Ecosystem Providers: When to Use it and What to Expect
The Challenge:
Organizations evaluating networking, security, AI, and other digital infrastructure solutions often need to identify potential ecosystem participants before making deployment decisions. However, discovering available providers and partners can be more difficult when access isn’t openly available.
Customers and prospective customers can benefit from a simpler way to explore ecosystem participants and understand the available provider landscape before engaging further with Equinix solutions.
A Better Approach:
Fabric Marketplace is now accessible publicly through Equinix.com, enabling broader discovery of Equinix ecosystem participants. It includes nearly 800 service providers, making it easier to discover and connect with participants through a single experience.
By making Fabric Marketplace externally accessible, users can search for providers, explore AI and Network hubs, view company and service profiles, and learn more about available services before deciding how to connect. Provider profiles can include company information, service details, logos, and other information that helps customers evaluate ecosystem participants.
Fabric Marketplace also supports discovery across seven specialized provider categories, including AI and Last-Mile providers. Customers can explore AI-focused ecosystem participants and discover last-mile connectivity options that support branch offices, edge deployments, and third-party data center connectivity.
