  • Equinix’s Cloud Exchange, which provides customers affordable, private and high-performance hybrid cloud solutions via seamless, on-demand and direct access to multiple clouds and multiple networks across the globe;
  • Microsoft Azure’s ExpressRoute;
  • Performance Hub, which enables customers to extend their network and accelerate application delivery, providing the ability to offer quality service to end-users; and
  • Gateway to Latin America, enabling customers to extend their network across the boarders into Mexico, Central and South America.

“Dallas is a high-demand market for Global Capacity’s customers,” states Ben Edmond, Chief Revenue Officer of Global Capacity.  “Our relationship with Equinix enables us to efficiently connect customers to key aggregation points such as Dallas, delivering cost-effective access to application and content ecosystems.”
