Sprawl
Network and security functions scattered across sites, clouds and providers add overhead and configuration risk with every change.
The challenge
Modern workloads, stuck on legacy networks
Applications, data, users and AI services now span multiple clouds, regions and providers. Most networks weren't built for traffic that flows this way.
Cost creep
Overprovisioning, inefficient paths, duplicated functions and egress fees keep pushing spend up.
Built to stand still
Physical appliances, long procurement cycles and multiyear contracts make it slow to adapt.
Slow and exposed
Backhauled and internet-dependent traffic adds latency and widens the attack surface.
The Solution
Connect once. Reach everything.
The fix isn’t more bandwidth but a private, direct network, and Equinix Connected Cloud brings clouds, AI providers, networks and partners together in one place so you can stop stitching together circuits, appliances and internet paths.
Simplify multicloud networking
Connect clouds, colocation and on-premises sites through one software-defined backbone, with direct cloud-to-cloud routing and far less to manage.
Keep critical traffic private and in your control
Move sensitive and AI traffic off the public internet and control where data moves, to meet security, compliance and data sovereignty requirements.
Scale on demand, pay for what you use
Retire rigid MPLS and multiyear circuits for capacity you add in minutes, without overprovisioning.
Deliver faster experiences
Deploy virtual routers, firewalls and SD-WAN where clouds, partners and users meet to cut latency and backhaul.
Why Equinix?
Only possible where the world already connects.
Other networks have to reach the ecosystem. At Equinix, you're already inside it.
IHG can add partners, bring in new SaaS providers and keep moving in a very agile manner… without having to rebuild the network.
