Get in TouchCross Connects Link to a dynamic ecosystem of business partners, networks and carriers
Provision and scale cross connects at the speed of your business.
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.
Expand your connections through our thriving ecosystems.
Electronic trading exchanges run hundreds of cross connects between servers inside our IBX data 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.
Cloud providers can reduce latency to their end-users by deploying many 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/content provider or an established enterprise, a cross connect inside an Equinix center ensures high-performance network reliability, redundancy and low-latency.
