Description

Platform Equinix offers one of the broadest data center footprints and portfolio of interconnection services in the market, with a digital ecosystem that includes: 1700+ network providers, 800+ digital content providers, 1250+financial services companies, 2900+ cloud and IT services providers, and nearly 3000 global enterprises.

While network service providers (NSPs) are focused on providing Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV)-based virtual network services to enterprise branch locations, Equinix’s Network Edge services put virtual network services in the middle mile, proximate to businesses’ digital partners—cloud providers, internet service providers (ISPs), NSPs, content providers, and enterprises.

In this paper, we present an analysis of the business value of virtual network services, an overview of Equinix Network Edge services, and its significance to enterprises.
