Hybrid Multicloud VDI at Scale

Provide a seamless experience for remote workers, branch offices and third-party contractors anywhere in the world with hybrid multicloud virtual desktop infrastructure.

Proximity to Users, Clouds and Networks Everywhere

Deliver a consistently great VDI user experience, whether the desktops are served by a cloud provider or dedicated infrastructure you control. Deploy the latter adjacent and directly connected to the former, all within the same data centers located at the edge in 27 major metros globally and counting. Connect this hybrid infrastructure to any of the local network providers in each metro to deliver low-latency, delightful VDI experience for the end users.

Control your VDI bandwidth costs via aggregation and dynamic allocation

Different cloud VDI solutions have different bandwidth requirements, and so do different VDI use cases. Connecting directly to each individual virtual-desktop cloud provider can get expensive. Use Equinix’s rich set of networking options to build a cost-effective VDI architecture by aggregating bandwidth in one or more high-speed dedicated physical ports and then dynamically allocating it for individual applications and cloud services using virtual connections.

Specialized capabilities to supercharge your workloads

Bare Metal aaS

Noisy neighbors and hypervisor performance overhead aren’t a thing on single-tenant hardware. Run applications where every bit of performance and latency matter on automated bare metal, managing it via a robust API and all the cloud-native tools you know and love. Cut operating costs with an as-a-service model and scaling up or down as demand changes./p>

Equinix Fabric Virtual Connections

Create high-speed, direct, private network connections between Equinix Metal and other cloud providers to reduce cost, increase bandwidth and deliver consistent performance for high-traffic applications. Up to 50 Gbps per port. Each port comes with a virtual circuit to attach a VLAN to and can be provisioned in a redundant manner for high availability.

A Global Edge for All Networks That Matter

Equinix Metal is available in 27 global metros and counting. Within each of those metros, it is placed in the facilities that host the “nerve centers” of all the networks and service providers that want to reach businesses and individuals there. Use Equinix to privately connect your applications to cloud providers, backhaul and last-mile networks locally to meet data sovereignty, latency and performance requirements.
