Equinix Fabric is an advanced interconnection solution that, when combined with Azure ExpressRoute™, enables seamless, on-demand, private connectivity to Microsoft Azure. Designed for agility and scale, Equinix Fabric allows enterprises to provision virtual connections in minutes through a single port, helping optimize application performance, improve user experience, and increase productivity for workloads running on Azure.

Equinix is the largest Azure ExpressRoute partner, offering local access in 36 metro markets and remote connectivity from 59 Equinix Fabric locations worldwide. This global reach enables organizations to extend their Azure deployments across regions with consistent performance, high reliability, and enhanced security.

A key feature of Equinix Fabric is Fabric Cloud Router (FCR), a fully virtual Layer 3 routing service that simplifies hybrid and multicloud networking without requiring physical infrastructure. FCR enables private, software-defined routing between Azure, other cloud platforms, and on-premises environments through Equinix’s global interconnection platform. With multiple interconnected metros in the U.S. and low-latency access to major cloud providers, FCR allows customers to rapidly establish connectivity where and when it is needed.

Fabric Cloud Router centralizes routing and eliminates the need to deploy and manage hardware routers, reducing operational overhead while increasing scalability and agility. Customers can manage traffic flows across environments through a single, cloud-based service, simplifying network architecture and accelerating time to value.

With Fabric Cloud Router, customers can:

· Route traffic natively between cloud platforms and private infrastructure

· Simplify hybrid and multicloud architectures

· Reduce hardware dependency and operational complexity

· Scale networks dynamically as business needs evolve

By combining Equinix Fabric, Fabric Cloud Router, and Azure ExpressRoute, organizations gain a secure, flexible, and scalable foundation for cloud migration, disaster recovery, application modernization, and data-intensive workloads across a globally connected digital infrastructure.

Why Fabric?

- Built to accelerate multicloud adoption. Gain unmatched low latency access between your public clouds.

- Deployment is fast, you can establish a private cloud to cloud connection in minutes.

- Easily deploy resilient, high performant networking for multicloud. Privately route data between different public clouds with high-throughput, built-in redundancy.

- Reduce the cost and complexity of multicloud deployments. Cost-effectively enable cloud-to-cloud connectivity with a few clicks.

Fabric Use Cases

Cloud Migrations

Move workloads and data between clouds while benefiting from the security, predictability and performance of private network connectivity. Utilizing private connectivity also allows you to take advantage of lower data egress fees from the public cloud providers compared to internet connectivity.

Cloud-to-Cloud Networking Between Public Clouds

Improve network performance and cut costs with private, localized routing; reducing latency and egress fees with no additional hardware required. Ideal when you are running cloud applications that require data transfer between cloud providers or need to share data between applications running in different public clouds. You can route traffic directly rather than through the nearest data center and bypass the public internet for better reliability and security, and reduce egress fees

Sovereignty & Compliance

Meet regulatory, residency, and compliance requirements by keeping data traffic private and regional. Equinix’s global footprint enables organizations to connect to Azure in-region while maintaining compliance.

Data-Intensive Azure Workloads

Support AI/ML, analytics, and large-scale data processing workloads with consistent performance. Equinix Fabric provides low-latency private connectivity from performance-dense locations to Azure regions, enabling better outcomes for data-driven workloads.

Metro Availability

A FCR purchased through the Azure Marketplace can currently be deployed in any of our 47 international Metros globally.
