Equinix Fabric Helps Customers Capitalize on Subsea Cable Capacity – Interconnections – The Equinix Blog


We’re excited to announce that capacity on the EllaLink route is now available via Equinix Fabric. This will make it easier for customers to create low-latency virtual connections between Europe and LATAM.

Equinix Fabric on the EllaLink route brings Europe and LATAM closer together

LATAM is already closely linked with Portugal and Spain for linguistic and cultural reasons, and the new EllaLink capacity on Equinix Fabric will help bring the two regions closer than ever before. Companies on both sides of the Atlantic will now be able to get closer to a much wider customer base, and thus unlock opportunities to drive new business.

Businesses that are already using Equinix Fabric to connect from Europe to South America via the U.S. may see immediate benefits from the new direct route. Their virtual connections will automatically update to start following the EllaLink route; this means they’ll experience lower latency without even having to lift a finger.

For customers who’ve considered connecting between Europe and LATAM in the past, Equinix Fabric on EllaLink may be the push they need to get started. They can acquire EllaLink capacity via Equinix Fabric without even having to talk to anyone. All they need to do is simply go to the self-service Equinix Fabric web portal and click a few buttons to set up a new virtual connection. In a matter of minutes, they can have their new capacity fully provisioned. This is in contrast to the months it might take them to access cable capacity via traditional physical infrastructure.

In addition, Equinix Fabric customers in both Europe and LATAM will now have expanded access to rich ecosystems of partners and service providers. This includes access to the cloud providers of their choice on Platform Equinix®. After provisioning new capacity on Platform Equinix, customers can fully integrate that new capacity into their cloud providers within days.

Also, customers will be able to take advantage of remote connectivity to SaaS offerings. For instance, some businesses operating in LATAM may want access to a full stack of sales intelligence tools that’s only available in Europe. Now, they can get the direct connectivity they need to use those tools to their full potential, without latency standing in the way.
