Equinix has announced that VMware® vCloud Air is available on Platform Equinix in Europe. The service is available via direct connect within Equinix’s London and Frankfurt metros, and remotely across Europe via carriers. These dedicated, private connections reduce network costs and provide higher, more consistent network performance than Internet-based connections for enterprise customers looking to build VMware-based hybrid clouds, alongside other cloud services including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure.
VMware vCloud Air allows customers to extend their existing on-premises IT infrastructure seamlessly into vSphere-hosted private cloud and public clouds. Customers have the ability to build the network/architecture spanning all three environments, giving them full control to meet their data security and sovereignty requirements. The solution is now available via direct connect inside Equinix’s LD5 International Business Exchange (IBX) data center in London and FR2 data center in Frankfurt, with the potential to scale across Equinix’s global data center footprint.
VMware vCloud Air integrates seamlessly with a company’s current IT infrastructure (whether on-premises or hosted in an Equinix IBX), delivering the ease and flexibility to extend applications into the cloud as additional capacity is needed. It is compatible with existing enterprise applications, making it straightforward to build new, cloud-native applications and achieve business agility and efficiency in a more secure, reliable and compliant manner.
The availability of the vCloud Air service enables customers to address European Union compliance and data protection regulation as locally hosted data is inherent in the service, alongside the global reach offered through Equinix.
Equinix offers the industry’s broadest choice in cloud service providers, such as VMware vCloud Air, AWS, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure, offering direct connections to these cloud services via Equinix Cloud Exchange, cross connects or Ethernet services.
Equinix is home to a mature and dynamic ecosystem of partners and customers, hosting over 1,250 cloud and IT services companies globally, with 450 of those residing in IBXs across Europe. According to a recent Cloud Adoption Survey commissioned by Equinix 91 percent of UK and 88 percent of German respondents are planning the deployment of new cloud-based offerings this year.
