Times moves fast...don't they?   As the line between public and private cloud continues to blur, we're seeing the very definition of "data center" evolve right alongside it.  Colocation, edge, interconnection - these aren't just technologies anymore.   They're becoming  foundational building blocks in how hybrid cloud actually operates today.  We used to think of hybrid as static: pair a hyperscaler with some on-prem gear and bada-bing, bada-boom, call it a day...right? Wrong.  That model no longer cuts it. Now, we're watching new hybrid patterns emerge that are more agile, di

Hi team,When ordering Internet Access over fabric for a redundant connection type, how many sets of additional IPs are provided?For example is it just one set of additional IPs anywhere between /30 to /24?Or as it's a redundant pair do we get two sets of additional IPs e.g. additional IP range 1:anything from /30 to /24additional IP range 2:anything from /30 to /24Thanks

I have managed to use several terraform modules without problem. I have used the palo alto cloudgenix vm modules, palo alto firewalls modules, device link modules, and fabric cloud router module. All work okay on the lastest version of equinix/equinix. However as I dive into other connections I get a lot version issues. For example. Leveraging the cloud-router-port connection. https://registry.terraform.io/modules/equinix/fabric/equinix/latest/examples/cloud-router-2-port-connectionThis would be used to connect the cloud router to the pa firewall mgmt interface. Documentation covers the following version. required_providers {equinix = {source = "equinix/equinix"version = ">= 2.9.0" } } } 

I scavenged the terraform registry looking for a Equinix Internet Access Terraform module. ]I found an example of a connection to EIA.This is the only thing that comes up in the registry as EIA.  https://github.com/equinix/terraform-equinix-fabric/tree/v0.22.0/examples/virtual-device-2-eia-connectionBut none that creates the EIA itself. Can anyone answer if this may or may not be supported in terraform and if so, what would the resource name be for it? The GUI terminology doesn't always translate one for one, so maybe I'm missing something.  

How do you prepare for seasonal spikes in network demand like during tax filing season?

Hey Community! We often get questions about Fabric Cloud Router and we’re here to help clarify for others who might have the same question in the future. If you’ve got additional questions about FCR, ask them in Community! What is a Digital Services Agreement (DSA)? The Digital Services Agreement is a document that is presented to users when setting up a Billing Account to order digital services like Fabric Cloud Router. If this is your first time ordering digital services with Equinix and you do not have an existing Billing Account (or sometimes called a Cloud Billing Account), you’ll be directed to digitally sign the DSA. If you're creating additional Billing Accounts, you will be asked whether you want to use an existing Digital Services Agreement or sign a new Digital Services Agreement. If you need guidance on either DSA option, please review this

Hey folks, I'm curious to hear how folks are managing multicloud networking setups. With so many tools and vendors in the space I'm eager to hear what everyone is using to connect between different cloud environments. What vendors or solutions are you using to manage multicloud networking? (e.g., Equinix, Megaport, Aviatrix, Cisco, etc.) Are you using Layer 3 or 4 networking for your interconnections? Which cloud providers or service providers are you connecting to? What’s your primary use case for these connections? (access to specific cloud services, redundancy, cost optimization, etc.) Feel free to share any challenges you've faced too!

Can I use an Equinix Fabric port to connect to the internet?

Hi guys,With the 'Equinix Connect Single-Homed Direct (Provider Assigned IP)' service are there open ports?I have a Fortgate Firewall connected with the internet facing port configured to the Equinix supplied IP Address and have no problem getting internet through it and using NAT for a couple of device clients behind firewall, but I can't open a SSL VPN connection to the Firewall router. Are all ports closed by default?Thanks for your help,Ed 

Hello everyone, We're using Virtual circuits between Fabric ports & Edge virtual devices, it works fine but still it's impossible to get the link usage statistics as for other circuits.Any news about that option that is missing? Thanks 🙂

 I saw that Equinix now offers subscription licenses for the Cisco 8KV on Equinix Network Edge.  Does this support 16 core/8G memory devices?

Can anyone explain what kind of support is available for the Cisco Catalyst 8000V?

Here's another Quick Hit video providing a breakdown of when you'd want to choose Network Edge or Fabric Cloud Router:  To learn more about Fabric Cloud Router, check out this page on our docs site. 

This is first part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who desire highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry will focus on the foundational architecture of Plane A and Plane B in Network Edge and how these building blocks should be utilized for resiliency. For more information on Network Edge and device plane resiliency please refer to the Equinix Docs page here. Dual Plane Architecture Network Edge is built upon a standard data center redundancy architecture with multiple pods that have dedicated power supplies and a dedicated Top of Rack (ToR) switch.  It consists of multiple compute planes commonly referred to as Plane A and
