Equinix —
Colocation, Fabric & Multicloud Interconnection

Equinix is built for organizations whose architecture depends on interconnection — direct, high-performance physical and virtual links between cloud providers, networks, and other enterprises. The strongest fits are organizations running hybrid or multicloud architectures (where you want to be physically adjacent to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud), digital ecosystems and SaaS providers needing to reach 10,000+ customers and partners on-platform, financial services that need low-latency private interconnect, content and CDN providers, and global enterprises that want to consolidate colocation under one carrier-neutral provider with consistent operational practices in 71 markets across 33 countries.

Equinix operates 260+ International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers across 71 markets in 33 countries on 6 continents — the world's largest neutral colocation footprint, serving 10,000+ customers globally. The structural difference from a regional colocation provider is the density of network operators, cloud on-ramps, and enterprise tenants in each IBX. Many Equinix metros host hundreds of network providers and direct on-ramps to every major cloud — meaning a Cross Connect inside an IBX often replaces multiple long-haul circuits and complex network engineering. For organizations whose value comes from connecting to others, that ecosystem density is the product.

Cross Connects are physical fiber links between parties within the same IBX, campus, or metro — the foundational interconnection product, available globally. Equinix Fabric® is a software-defined interconnection platform that creates virtual connections to thousands of customers, networks, clouds, and partners across 60+ global metros, with automated provisioning that enables multicloud routing in minutes. Cross Connect is the right answer when both parties are already in the same data center and want a permanent, high-bandwidth dedicated link. Equinix Fabric is the right answer when you want on-demand, software-driven connectivity to many parties at variable bandwidth without trenching cables.

Equinix is architecturally a multicloud platform: every major hyperscaler (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud) maintains direct on-ramps inside Equinix IBXs in major metros, accessible via Cross Connect or Equinix Fabric®. The Equinix Fabric Cloud Router replaces transit hubs and cloud-native routing constructs with a globally distributed software-defined router running adjacent to those on-ramps. For AI workloads specifically, Equinix has invested in high-density power and cooling for GPU infrastructure across its global footprint — letting customers place GPU clusters cloud-adjacent for training, inference, and data-pipeline architectures that span private and public infrastructure.

Equinix has published a Future First sustainability strategy with a science-based target to be climate neutral by 2030, supported by power purchase agreements (PPAs) for renewable energy across major operating regions. Customers benefit through access to renewable-backed data center capacity and through emissions reporting that supports their own ESG and regulatory disclosures. For organizations with internal carbon goals or regulated sustainability disclosures, Equinix's documented program — backed by ongoing investment in advanced cooling, high-density power, and operational efficiency — is materially different from data centers without published roadmaps.

No. Your contract is signed directly with Equinix — Fibi is not a party to the agreement. Pricing follows Equinix's published rates, and in most cases Fibi can negotiate equal or better terms by sourcing competitive quotes from Digital Realty, CoreSite, CyrusOne, Iron Mountain, and other neutral colocation operators in parallel. Fibi's advisory work is funded by Equinix at no additional cost to your business, so engaging Fibi adds the comparison, multi-vendor sourcing, and ongoing escalation layer without affecting your invoice or contract terms.
