CROSS CONNECTS
Inside one of our IBX centers, a cross connect is much more than a cable. A single cross connect can be the link to our dynamic ecosystem of business partners, content providers, networks, carriers, and Internet service providers.
Electronic trading exchanges run hundreds of cross connects between servers inside our centers as they look to maximize the number of trades processed per second. Milliseconds of latency can cost traders millions of dollars.
For content companies that run streaming video sites, a single cross connect can be the link to the major international carriers or ISPs who serve their users.
Enterprises connect their most critical applications to multiple global networks for redundancy and pricing advantages.
For electronic trading systems, enterprises, or content companies, a cross connect inside an Equinix center ensures high-performance network reliability, redundancy, and low-latency.
