Lumen is integrating its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform with Equinix Fabric, enabling Equinix's 10,000 customers to instantly buy, use, and manage Lumen Internet On-Demand and future Lumen NaaS services.
How it Works
- An Equinix customer orders Lumen Internet On-Demand using Lumen's digital portal or API.
- The customer provisions a virtual connection in Equinix Fabric and connects it to the Lumen port.
- After the customer is connected to Lumen's NaaS platform, Lumen Internet On-Demand service activates in minutes, instead of months.
- Customers are in control of their service and can increase or decrease bandwidth as needed.
"Our customers rely on us to offer a premier interconnection experience that's made possible with the combined capabilities of Equinix Fabric and the service providers that make up our digital ecosystem," said Arun Dev, Vice President of Digital Interconnection at Equinix. "I'm thrilled with the work our teams are doing to integrate Lumen NaaS with Equinix Fabric so that our customers can have even more choice for on-demand Internet connectivity to support their hybrid infrastructure."
"Offering businesses a quick and easy network buying experience is what makes our collaboration with Equinix so valuable," said Andrew Dugan, CTO for Lumen. "Lumen is bringing its NaaS platform to Equinix, giving their customers access to quick bandwidth boosts and personalized on-demand services. Together, we are solving business challenges so our customers can focus on innovation."
