Provision and scale cross connects at the speed of your business.
A cross connect is much more than a cable. It links you to our dynamic ecosystem of business partners, content providers, networks, carriers and Internet service providers.
Expand your connections through our thriving ecosystems.
- Electronic trading exchanges run hundreds of cross connects between servers inside our IBX® data centres to maximize the number of trades processed per second and eliminate milliseconds of latency that can cost traders millions of dollars.
- Content companies running streaming video sites use a single cross connect to link to the major international carriers and ISPs that serve their users.
- Cloud providers reduce latency to their end-users by deploying cross connects to the networks and ISPs serving their end-users within the same building.
- Enterprises connect their most critical applications to multiple global networks for redundancy and pricing advantages.
Whether you are a financial services company, a cloud or content provider, or an established enterprise, a cross connect inside an Equinix IBX data centre ensures high-performance, network reliability, redundancy, and low-latency.
