PacketExchange's NIaaS recently expanded into two Equinix European facilities, Amsterdam and London, providing robust, scalable bandwidth on-demand. The expansion grants Equinix customers access to PacketExchange's global network that offers point-to-point and point-to-multipoint solutions across its globally expansive private Ethernet and Internet network.
