MCLEAN, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Virtustream, an enterprise-class cloud company and Dell Technologies
business, today announced a major expansion of its partnership with
Equinix Cloud Exchange (ECX) 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 partnership with ECX further extends network
connectivity options to accelerate time-to-market for customers through
simplified access to secure, reliable and high-performance direct
connectivity for Virtustream Enterprise Cloud customers in North America
and EMEA. The expanded enhancements and support for the Equinix Cloud
Exchange 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

most cases. Furthermore, the Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric provides
streamlined private connectivity to all major hyperscale cloud providers
for customers with multi-cloud requirements.
