Layer 2 · Interconnection

On-demand interconnection between Equinix facilities, cloud providers and other participants in them.

Desk Research · September 2026

Evaluated from public documentation, architecture material and source code. No vendor contact.

What it solves

If you already have a colocation footprint in an Equinix facility, this is usually the shortest and most direct path to your cloud providers.

Who it suits

Existing Equinix colocation customers building a hybrid estate.

What to watch out for

Most compelling if you are already an Equinix customer, and a fairly weak reason to become one. Compare against other network-as-a-service providers on coverage in your specific sites.

Every product here gets one of these. A recommendation without a trade-off is not a recommendation.
