Equinix Boosts Multicloud Networking with AWS for Faster Private Cloud Connections

Equinix has launched the Equinix Fabric Cloud Router, a virtual routing service that improves performance and cost-efficiency for multicloud environments. Available on AWS Marketplace with AWS Direct Connect, it allows businesses to easily establish private, dedicated connections across hybrid multicloud setups.

Research from TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group in 2023 revealed that 94% of organizations are using multiple public clouds as they seek to optimize performance and scale applications. Fabric Cloud Router, a virtual routing service, helps enterprises easily connect applications and data across clouds and on-premises deployments. It provides an easy-to-configure, enterprise-grade, multicloud routing service that can be deployed in minutes. Fabric Cloud Router removes the costs and complexities of owning and operating a physical router or licensing a virtual router, improving application performance and reducing cloud costs.

According to a Canalys study, cloud marketplace revenues are expected to increase to US$45 billion by 2025, up 84% CAGR over five years. AWS Marketplace, a curated digital catalog, makes it easy for customers to procure, deploy and manage third-party software solutions and services. By making Fabric Cloud Router with AWS Direct Connect available in AWS Marketplace, Equinix is offering these advantages to those needing secure, private connectivity.

“The availability of Fabric Cloud Router on AWS Marketplace simplifies complex cloud-to-cloud and hybrid cloud networking challenges by allowing users to easily procure and deploy this multicloud routing service in near real time,” said Arun Dev, Vice President of Digital Interconnection at Equinix.

“Equinix Fabric Cloud Router with AWS Direct Connect provides customers a toolset to deliver private and dependable connectivity between clouds,” said Emad Benjamin, General Manager for AWS Direct Connect. “The availability of Fabric Cloud Router on AWS Marketplace is a win for our joint customers who are seeking easy access to secure, performant cloud-to-cloud connectivity either for data migration or multicloud architectures.”
