Equinix has announced the global expansion of its Fabric Geo Zones, a network-level, sovereignty enforcement layer operating across interconnected clouds and providers.
Built natively into Equinix Fabric, Geo Zones eliminates compliance risks from network rerouting events that can inadvertently move sovereign data across borders enteprises are legally required to respect by keeping data within defined geographic boundaries.
Geo Zones is available at a premium tier – included in Unlimited Ports and Unlimited Ports Plus packages and priced at a premium to standard virtual circuits.
“Sovereignty can’t be a setting you configure inside a single cloud. Global enterprises must enforce sovereignty at the network layer, across every cloud, provider and path simultaneously,” said Arun Dev, vice president of digital interconnection at Equinix.
“Equinix Fabric Geo Zones is the only solution that enforces geographic boundaries as a property of the network itself. Traffic either flows along compliant paths or it’s blocked. That’s why enterprises across industries trust Equinix to move data across clouds without compromising sovereignty.”
Fabric Geo Zones is available today in preview across Equinix’s global footprint, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Switzerland, the U.K. and the U.S., with European Union availability to come this month.
