 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?

How are Ethernet Private Line services different than Metro Connect service?

Do you have Equinix-configured Cisco CSR1000V Network Edge devices? Make sure you migrate them using the info below:

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 ArchitectureNetwork 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 Plane B for design simplicity Plane A connects to the Primary Fabric network and Plane B connects to the Secondary Fabric networkThe most important concept for understanding Network Edge resiliency: the device plane determines which Fabric switch is used for device connections. Future posts will dive much deeper in the vario

Can I deploy Zscaler on Equinix?

Fabric Cloud Router offers a lot of benefits and efficiencies for users who want to connect their clouds and Equinix networks. Are details and instructions for use available?

What are virtual device interface statistics on Network Edge?

I've heard about the new Zscaler offering -- what is it?

Hi,Can we use Equinix fabric and connect between 2 different Equinix  DCs between our DC in one Equinix DC and Customer DC in another Equinix DC. Also please clarify how to work on this request

This is the second part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who require highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry highlights how to build resilient Device Link Group (DLG) connections. For more information on Device Link Resiliency please refer to the Equinix docs page here.Device Link Groups are used to connect Network Edge device interfaces to other Network Edge device interfaces​ They can be local (same metro) or remote and are a shared broadcast domain​ A single DLG, like a single Ethernet cable, provides no resiliency​ Local DLGs do not traverse the Equinix Fabric and aren’t susceptible to Fabric switch outages ​ Hybrid DLGs have some devices connected to the Primary Fabric plane and other to the Secondary​ Customers that require maximum resiliency should deploy additional DLGs that connect to both the Primary and Secondary Fabric networks​ Redundant Devices can have one or both devices connect to the DLG​ Clustered devices act as one log

This is the fourth and final part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who require highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry highlights how to build resilient Fabric Virtual Connections.Virtual connections allow NE devices to connect to CSPs, NSPs and ISPs as well as co-location​ The same logic still applies: the NE device plane determines which Fabric switch is used​ The VC connection workflow is very similar to the EVP-LAN workflow with some differences​ Customers that require VC link resiliency should create two or more VCs to their NE devices with each connection traversing the Primary and Secondary fabric switch​ Some CSPs like Azure require resiliency but most do not​ The Fabric portal allows connections to be created as redundant or single-legged​ The workflow is highlighted in the next few slides for both Redundant and Clustered devicesRedundant Devices Clustered Devices This concludes a four part series on building Highly Resilient Net

This is the third part of a series of posts highlighting the best practices for customers who require highly resilient networks in Network Edge. This entry highlights how to build resilient EVP-LAN connections in Network Edge.EVP-LAN is another method to connection Network Edge devices EVP-LANs differ from DLGs in that they connect to Network Edge devices and Fabric ports​ All EVP-LAN connections go to the Fabric, even for devices in the same metro--this is in contrast to DLGs which can be local or remote.​ As of November 2023, multiple NE devices in the same metro can be part of the same EVP-LAN network, removing the previous restriction of a single NE device per metro.​ Customers that require maximum resiliency should deploy additional EVP-LANs that span both the Primary and Secondary Fabric networks The same logic applies for EVP-LANs such that they should spread across Primary and Secondary Fabric planes​ The current maximum bandwidth for all EVP-LAN connections in the same metro i

Are there any tools available to help me migrate my Equinix-Configured CSR1000V to the Self-Configured C8000V version? 

If I want to replace my Network Edge device due to issues with the VNF, am I able to recover my initially provisioned device?

To help you connect, we have added "connectToCloudVision," "cvpType," "cvpFqdn," "cvpIpAddress," "cvaasPort," "cvpPort," and "cvpToken" fields. Check out the following pages for details: Launch Self-Configured Device Get Virtual Devices Get Virtual Device {uuid}  

..

Now you can monitor your Network Edge device utilization traffic by accessing your device details. In your Virtual Device Inventory, click on the device you want to monitor. In the Device Details, click the Interfaces tab. Expand the arrow next to the port you want to monitor and a graph will display showing Inbound and Outbound traffic for the last 7 days. Refresh the graph by clicking Refresh.Change the duration using the drop-down. Choose Last 7 days or Last 24 hours.

Appreciate your help - How can I convert my CSR1000V Equinix-configured device to a C8000V self-configured device?

Hi Does equinix provide e-waste service after decommissioning a device in these locations ?SV1, FRA4 and DC2. 

If I order an ECX port how will it be delivered/presented in my cage/cabinet? Will Equinix need to install a patch panel in my cabinet? If yes how much space will this take up?

When ordering a remote port (connect a virtual device on Network Edge to an NSP), will Equinix complete the final patch (tie-down) between ECX port and my NSPs patch panel port?
