Equinix Extends AWS Direct Connect Availability Across North America and EuropeREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Nov. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc., a global interconnection and data center company, today announced the immediate availability of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect in Equinix's Dallas and London International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers (DA2 and LD5). With AWS Direct Connect, companies can connect their privately owned and managed infrastructure directly to AWS. The solution establishes a private connection to the AWS Cloud for reduced costs, increased throughput, and consistent application performance. These two offerings bring the total number of Equinix data centers offering Direct Connect to 10. Many companies are looking to deploy hybrid clouds through direct interconnection, to reap the scalability and cost benefits of the cloud, while at the same time maintaining the security and control of on-premises infrastructure. In fact, a recent study, Enterprise of the Future, found that by 2017, 84 percent of IT leaders will deploy IT infrastructure where interconnection – defined as direct, secure physical or virtual connections – is at the core, compared to only 38 percent today. By offering AWS Direct Connect across the global market, Equinix helps enterprise CIOs achieve this by seamlessly and securely incorporating AWS Cloud services into their existing architectures.
