Network Edge 2022.3 Release | June 13

[amychen]

Network Edge 2022.3 is available June 13, 2022. This release includes the new Solution Builder feature, the addition of the NGINX Plus Load Balancer, the ability to create a single BYOC untagged connection to an existing port, and the elimination of subscription licensing for resellers.

Solution Builder
Design your Interconnection solution with the new Solution Builder. Drag and drop your Network Edge and Equinix Fabric connections into a solution diagram, then generate and download a cost estimate for your end-to-end solution. In the current phase of this limited release, you can select a single network virtual device and a single connection to a service provider. See Solution Builder for more information.

NGINX Plus Load Balancer
F5's NGINX Plus is now available in the Equinix Marketplace. This is the first load balancer offered on Network Edge, expanding the device types available to include SD-WAN, firewall, router, and load balancer. NGINX Plus can be used in conjunction with existing Network Edge routers or firewalls to scale and manage traffic volume. See Create an F5 NGINX Plus Load Balancer for more information.

Single BYOC Untagged Connection
You can now create a single BYOC untagged connection over an existing port. In release 2022.2, we introduced the ability to request a new untagged connection from a service provider. Now we are enhancing the capability to include untagged connections to existing ports, making BYOC easier and more transparent to telco customers.

Subscription Licenses for Resellers
As of 2022.3, Resellers will no longer be able to place device orders with subscription licenses on behalf of sub-accounts and sub-customers. Resellers can continue to place device orders for themselves, but they will be unable to place orders on behalf of sub-customers and sub-accounts.
