Google Cloud the First to Support Faster Equinix Connections
Equinix has worked with Google Cloud as the first cloud partner to support Equinix Fabric virtual connections with bandwidths up to 50 Gbps, the business said. It also expects to develop and launch new Equinix Fabric integrations with other major cloud platforms in the future.Arun Dev, Equinix's global leader for digital interconnection services, commented on his company's partnership with Google Cloud and what it means for Equinix Fabric customers:"Customers need to connect digital infrastructure and services on demand at software speed via secure, software-defined interconnection. I'm excited that Google Cloud is the first partner to help our joint customers unlock their growing hybrid multi-cloud workloads."
"As we continue to see a rise of distributed applications in hybrid cloud environments, the need for highly performant, low-latency, secure connectivity between public and private cloud continues to grow. Enabling the provisioning of private connections to Google Cloud from Equinix locations using Equinix Fabric enables customers to securely build, manage and monitor global networks and application workloads simply and efficiently."
