Reliable internet access, built around you

Get multi-provider resilience, smarter routing and simpler operations, all through one Equinix service that connects the way your infrastructure already does.

Reduce single-provider reliance

Multiple upstream providers help keep traffic moving without requiring you to source and manage separate internet providers.

Reach destinations efficiently

Traffic uses Equinix Internet Exchange peering where it provides the better route, or upstream transit when it does not.

Simplify internet operations

Consolidate ordering, billing, reporting and support through one Equinix service.

Attach where you already are

Deploy Equinix Internet Access through a dedicated port, Equinix Fabric port or Network Edge device using the option that best fits your environment.

Use EIA across your environment

Support production traffic, backup access, remote management and distributed operations through a consistent managed internet service.

Configure EIA for your traffic

Use EIA as your primary internet service for production traffic or add it alongside another provider as a secondary path. Choose direct, static or BGP routing, with VRRP available for gateway redundancy on direct and static configurations. Use Equinix-provided IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, your own provider-independent address space or both.

Connect through a dedicated port

Reserve a port for internet access when you need high bandwidth or separation of internet traffic. Dedicated port options range from 1 Gbps to 100 Gbps in select locations.

Add internet to an Equinix Fabric port

Provision EIA on an existing Equinix Fabric port alongside cloud and inter-metro connections. This option brings public internet and private connectivity together on one port and supports faster changes without adding a separate physical port.
