Network Edge – 25G Virtual Connection Support for EIA: When to Use it and What to Expect

The Challenge:

As application traffic volumes increase, organizations may outgrow existing connectivity capacity between their virtual network functions (VNFs) and internet access services. Limited bandwidth can create bottlenecks for high-throughput workloads, impacting performance and scalability.

A Better Approach:

Network Edge now supports 25 Gbps virtual connections to Equinix Internet Access (EIA), enabling customers to provision higher-bandwidth connectivity between supported virtual network functions and internet access services. This enhancement helps organizations accommodate greater traffic demands while reducing potential bandwidth constraints.

When to Use This:

• Supporting high-throughput internet-bound workloads that require more than 10 Gbps of connectivity
• Scaling network capacity to accommodate growing application and data traffic demands
• Reducing bandwidth bottlenecks between Network Edge virtual network functions and Equinix Internet Access (EIA)
• Improving connectivity capacity for performance-sensitive applications and services
• Expanding existing Network Edge deployments that support 25 Gbps-capable interfaces and licensing
