Case Study: Zayo achieves faster, scalable AI-ready connectivity with Equinix

Equinix and Zayo Redefine AI-Ready Infrastructure, Delivering the Speed and Scale AI Demands

Zayo needed a way to support increasingly bandwidth-intensive AI, real-time analytics, and cloud workloads, but deploying true 400G connectivity was difficult, costly, and complex. Equinix helped address this challenge by pairing its AI-optimized digital infrastructure with Zayo’s 400G-enabled network backbone, giving enterprises faster access to high-capacity connectivity across cloud, core, and edge.

Equinix and Zayo implemented 400G-capable transport in Equinix data centers, including Quick-Connect locations and on-demand wavelength services, to simplify deployment and improve performance. The result was faster time-to-market, greater scalability, lower operational complexity, and more reliable high-speed connectivity, with 400G waves delivering four times the capacity of 100G and availability across 16 Equinix data centers.
