The company first launched ECX Fabric in December 2017.

“When we announced it we said this is what we’re aspiring to be: this vision where any Cloud Exchange customer could connect to any other Cloud Exchange customer anywhere in the world,” said Bill Long, vice president of interconnection services at Equinix. “What we’re announcing now is that we’re there.”
Customers can use the platform to connect to clouds in other regions, and they can also establish on-demand network connections between the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Brazil. This global nature has led to a couple prominent use cases, Long said.
