VIRTUSTREAM ANNOUNCES PLATFORM ENHANCEMENTS, NEW NETWORK CONNECTIVITY
OPTIONS TO SPEED TIME-TO-CLOUD AND EXPAND FEATURES AND AUTOMATION
Virtustream, an enterprise-class cloud company and Dell Technologies
business, today announced an expanded collaboration with Equinix
to directly connect to Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric™ (ECX Fabric™)
and new platform updates to increase functionality, automation,
speed-to-deployment and customer choice. These enhancements cover all
workloads, including mission-critical applications typically used for
managing sensitive data like customer and financial details or patient
information in the healthcare industry.
New Connectivity Options
Virtustream’s expanded collaboration with Equinix further extends
network connectivity options via ECX Fabric to Virtustream Enterprise
Cloud customers in North America and EMEA to accelerate time-to-market
for customers through simplified access to secure, reliable and
high-performance direct connectivity. The expanded enhancements and
support for ECX Fabric offers more customer control, minimizes security
threats, and enables easier and faster connectivity access.
The expanded options include commercial Virtustream Enterprise Cloud
nodes in North America and EMEA and a broader portfolio of private
connectivity options building on existing IPSEC VPN, MPLS, and AT&T
NetBond (selected markets) solutions, providing reduced complexity,
simplified direct connectivity and vendor management enhancements. While
the portfolio provides secure, scalable and reliable connections to
offer 99.999% availability-based QoS controls and low latency, the
time-to-connect can be dramatically reduced from weeks to just hours in
most cases. Furthermore, ECX Fabric provides private and secure
connectivity to all major public cloud providers for customers with
multi-cloud requirements.

our customers can accelerate the value of their business,” said Deepak
Patil, senior vice president, Cloud Platform and Services, Virtustream.
