EQUINIX INTERNET EXCHANGE
Equinix Internet Exchange is a service that enables companies to interconnect their networks to move data to their end destinations in an efficient and reliable manner.
Equinix Internet Exchange facilitates interconnection and peering via an Ethernet central switching fabric. It is used by many of the Internet companies operating within Equinix IBX centers, including: network service providers (such as ISPs, carriers, international PTTs and broadband networks), as well as content, e-commerce and enterprise companies delivering video, gaming or other applications.
The service offers an alternative to the traditional method of purchasing costly transit to reach partners across the Internet. By enabling data to bypass intermediary networks, Equinix Internet Exchange delivers enhanced end-to-end network performance, speed, and reliability, while lowering overall IP transit costs.
