This document discusses trends transforming digital connectivity and interconnection strategies. It summarizes research finding that interconnection bandwidth is expected to outpace internet and MPLS traffic growth. Interconnection enables organizations to more easily work together across networks, financial services, cloud computing, and content/digital media. The document then discusses how Equinix's interconnection services like ECX Fabric can help enterprises securely connect to multiple cloud services either locally or remotely. It also discusses how these services can help enterprises connect their own distributed infrastructure and ensure business continuity. Finally, it discusses how these services provide advantages to service providers by allowing them to access customers, connect to clouds in more metros, and leverage the largest interconnected ecosystem.
