Glowpoint has signed an alliance agreement with Equinix, to offer carriers direct access to Glowpoint’s managed video services through the Equinix’s Carrier Ethernet Exchange.
Under the terms of agreement, Glowpoint’s suite of managed video services and B2B video calling for telepresence and video conferencing will be available to carriers.
In addition, Glowpoint’s cloud-based infrastructure will be accessible to carriers and service providers throughout North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific through Equinix’s platform that includes international business exchange (IBX) data centers.
The agreement also enables access to cloud for consumption services via a single connection to Equinix carrier ethernet exchange and provides customers a many-to-many external network-to-network interface (ENNI) platform.
Equinix general manager of Global Networks, Mobility and Content Jim Poole said that this alliance will help remove complex and time-consuming challenges of establishing separate interconnection agreements with carriers and will give carriers instant access to managed video services through one connection.
