The last mile isn’t the only place networks fail. When SD-WAN traffic reaches the internet backbone, the routing decisions made at that point determine cloud application performance for every user on the network. Nepean Networks’ integration with Equinix connects SD-WAN traffic directly to cloud providers at major internet exchange points — cutting the unnecessary hops that inflate latency for Microsoft 365, AWS, and Azure workloads. This post explains what that integration delivers and why cloud interconnection is the next frontier for SD-WAN performance.
Fusion Broadband embraces Equinix in global expansion of its SD-WAN service.
Offers fast deployment of dedicated SD-WAN gateways in 50+ locations worldwide.
Key Takeaways:
- Equinix operates carrier-neutral data centres at major global internet exchange points, providing direct interconnection with hundreds of cloud providers and ISPs
- Routing SD-WAN traffic through Equinix eliminates the congestion and variability of standard internet paths to cloud services
- Direct cloud peering significantly reduces latency for Microsoft 365, Teams, AWS, and Azure workloads compared to consumer or standard business broadband routing
- Cloud-native SD-WAN through data centres near peering points also reduces last-mile vulnerability — a failure at one site doesn’t cascade to others
- Global Points of Presence across 52+ locations ensure low-latency routing for Nepean Networks clients across multiple regions
- For MSPs managing distributed clients, cloud interconnection provides consistent, predictable cloud application performance regardless of local ISP quality
