Hello,I would like to know whether Equinix offers a Web Application Firewall (WAF) service as part of its portfolio.Specifically, I am interested in: Does Equinix provide a native or managed WAF solution? Is WAF available through Equinix partners or Marketplace? Which WAF vendors or technologies are supported (e.g. F5, Cloudflare, Imperva, Akamai)? Can WAF be integrated with Equinix Fabric and other Equinix services? Is there a managed security service option, including monitoring and protection against OWASP Top 10 threats? I would appreciate any information about available solutions, architecture options and pricing models.Thank you!

Digital sovereignty is often discussed as though more must always be better.More control. More independence. Fewer external providers and dependencies.But every additional control has a cost. It can increase operational complexity, limit access to useful services or create new dependencies that are less visible than the ones being removed.The better question is not: How do we make everything sovereign?It is: How much sovereignty does each workload actually need? Start with the consequencesSovereignty matters because of what could happen when another party has too much influence over something important.For each workload, ask:What if an unauthorized party gained access to its data? What if the service became unavailable? What if a provider changed its terms, pricing or technology direction? What if regulation or geopolitics restricted continued use? How difficult would it be to move, replace or operate the workload elsewhere?The answers will differ. A public website, collaboration platf

1.0 SECURE ENTERPRISE DISTRIBUTED AI HUBArtificial intelligence has rapidly evolved from an emerging capability to a core component of modern digital ecosystems. As organizations deploy generative AI, machine learning models, and autonomous decision-making AI agents, they face an expanding set of security challenges that differ fundamentally from traditional cybersecurity risks. AI agents are highly dynamic, data-driven, and nondeterministic, which introduces new attack surfaces and vulnerabilities that conventional security frameworks were not designed to address.At the same time, AI has become a powerful tool for defenders, enhancing threat detection, automating incident response, and improving cloud security posture. However, malicious actors are also exploiting AI to scale cyberattacks through techniques like deepfakes, automated phishing, prompt injection, goal hijacking, and model poisoning. This dual-use nature of AI underscores the urgent need for organizations to adopt integra
Hey — Ed here 👋Quick question: tired of wrestling with jittery VPNs over the public internet for your hybrid multicloud? Me too. In this short Tech Talk, Ted and I walk through a real-world playbook that ditched public-VPN pain and delivered a global enterprise with predictable, low-latency connectivity via private interconnection. Why it works (TL;DR):Private connectivity (not VPN over internet) = consistent latency and no jitter Colocation = cloud-adjacent performance for latency-sensitive apps like SAP Equinix Fabric + Fabric Cloud Router = multi-cloud routing at scale (10–50Gbps+) Real result: one customer self-deployed FCR in 2 weeks — zero dramaWant the reference design?

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.Missed part one? Check it out here.
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.
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?

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.Whether you are building a global WAN or curious about how Equinix uses AI internally to sharpen our own operations, I’d love for you to give it a listen.
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.How is Equinix positioned for the AI boom?

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
Autonomous technology is no longer a futuristic dream; it's rapidly becoming our reality. From robotaxis navigating city streets to drones delivering packages, machines are taking the wheel – and the skies – to move people and goods with unprecedented efficiency. But what truly powers every safe and reliable autonomous journey? It's the invisible digital systems working tirelessly behind the scenes. In the latest episode of Interconnected, join hosts Glenn Dekhayser and Simon Lockington as they delve into this crucial topic with MIT Research Scientist Bryan Reimer and Equinix VP of Market Development Petrina Steele. Whether it’s AI autonomous cars navigating city streets or yard automation powering global ports, every safe mile depends on robust digital infrastructure—edge compute for real-time reasoning, low-latency connectivity and resilient data networks. Key Highlights Edge computing enables vehicles to process and share data locally for faster, safer decisions. Low-latency connec
