Digital infrastructure company Equinix unveiled the Equinix Fabric Cloud Router, a new virtual routing service to help businesses connect applications and data across multiple clouds and on-premise deployments.
Equinix Fabric Cloud Router simplifies customers’ complex cloud-to-cloud and hybrid cloud networking challenges by providing a multi-cloud routing service that can be deployed in under a minute.
Customers using Equinix’s private connectivity can connect applications across public clouds in more locations than any other service.
“Modern IT environments are highly digitised and distributed. TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group research shows that in 2023, 94% of organisations are now using multiple unique public clouds and the top drivers behind this adoption are to optimise performance and to scale applications. The network connectivity that supports these multi-cloud applications must provide the same ability to scale and improve performance,” noted ESG principal analyst Bob Laliberte.

“Equinix, with its extensive cloud on-ramp availability and low network latency combined with the recently added Equinix Fabric Cloud Router, is well positioned to deliver these capabilities.”
“Multi-cloud networking is hard, but now with the launch of Equinix Fabric Cloud Router we are simplifying it for businesses everywhere by helping users connect different clouds in as little as 45 seconds. This is what you’d expect from Equinix, the leader in multi-cloud networking,” said Equinix vice president digital interconnection Arun Dev.
“The distributed cloud is increasingly important as organisations need the flexibility to work with workloads and data in specific locations and across multiple clouds. With Equinix Fabric Cloud Router, customers can deploy and manage a high-performance multi-cloud networking architecture more quickly and cost-effectively,” said Oracle vice president product management Yogesh Kaushik.
“We’re excited about the launch of Equinix Fabric Cloud Router, which will enable us to achieve even higher levels of cost and performance efficiency and help advance our mission of becoming a truly global Network as a Service (NaaS) provider,” said Apcela vice president product and solutions engineering Kunal Thakkar.
Equinix Fabric Cloud Router is available in 58 markets globally including Australia.
It has low latency connectivity to all major cloud providers including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, as well as hundreds of other service providers like Akamai, ServiceNow, and Zoom.
