“Equinix has proven to be an instrumental
partner for MSFT in our market. No other
ExpressRoute partner in our ecosystem is
able to accelerate local & global Azure
solutions the same way, reducing our
average ER deployment from 8-9 months
down to 6-8 weeks.
Engagement with Equinix accelerates
Azure consumption with our enterprise
customers - allowing for consistent,
optimized Azure migrations, directly
resulting in increased ACR.”
Get the best possible latency and performance using ECX Fabric for Microsoft ExpressRouteTM cloud deployments.
Or for customers in non-ExpressRouteTM markets can get access to ExpressRouteTM via the Fabric.
Stockholm to Amsterdam example is a good one: MSFT doesn’t have an ExpressRouteTM Node in Stockholm but customers using the ECXF in Stockholm can access ExpressRouteTM in Amsterdam by simply choosing that option in the portal.
Interconnection enables the Enterprise to directly and securely connect employees, partners and customers with their data.
By bringing data sources & constituents together digitally, businesses can simultaneously capture, correlate and transform that data into new customer value.
