Equinix and Neutral Tandem unveiled plans to offer participants of the Equinix Carrier Ethernet Exchange (ECEE) a single point of contact for managing the complexity associated with global, exchange-based, end-to-end managed Ethernet services.
Equinix will offer ECEE participants the option to use Neutral Tandem’s EtherCloud Layer-2 connectivity network and platform to streamline and accelerate Ethernet service delivery into new markets.
ECEE will be able to save time and reduce complexity with a single source for managing multi-carrier local loop arrangements, E-NNI agreements, service provisioning, service level agreements, and more.
The planned combination of ECEE and Neutral Tandem’s EtherCloud platform is aimed at customers in the network, cloud and financial services markets.
