Equinix Partners with Colt to Deliver On-Demand Connectivity for Equinix Fabric

​Equinix, a leading digital infrastructure company, announced that it has extended collaboration with Colt, a global network provider, to provide enterprises with on-demand connectivity to Equinix Fabric, which connects distributed infrastructure and digital ecosystems on Platform Equinix.

This on-demand interconnection between Colt and Equinix Fabric is fully automated via an API, which further simplifies the end-to-end experience.

The extended collaboration allows enterprises to connect in near real-time to their own premises, completely control their digital infrastructure, create a superior customer experience and provide them with greater agility over a critical asset in today's business landscape – their network.

The collaboration between Colt and Equinix was first announced in 2017, and now the organisations are evolving their offerings to ensure they are best placed to assist enterprises with their on-going and rapid digital transformations.

Peter Coppens, Vice President Product Portfolio, at Colt, said: “Colt's On Demand offering is one we are very proud of. Networks have long shifted from being a stagnant business cost – to being a true enabler of organisations' transformations, as they evolve. We know transformations this year have had to happen in some cases overnight, and this extended collaboration with Equinix will only further accelerate business growth and agility – something we both are fundamentally aligned on.”
