BlueJeans Network has partnered with Equinix and joined the Equinix Cloud Exchange to quickly expand its global reach and provide high-performance connectivity to its cloud-based video offerings.
In addition to providing access on Equinix Cloud Exchange in select markets, BlueJeans also leverages Equinix’s footprint of 145+ International Business Exchange (IBX) data centres, presence in 40 global markets and proven operational reliability of Platform Equinix (with global uptime of 99.9999 percent in 2015) to provide direct virtual connections to its services. Equinix’s vast and vendor-neutral network of 1,150+ networks and carriers gives BlueJeans enhanced flexibility and choice, with increased safety, speed and reliability.
BlueJeans is deploying an Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) with Equinix in three regions to decentralise and distribute its infrastructure, enabling greater agility and scale by bringing data closer to end users. This results in lower latency and superior application performance and gives BlueJeans the ability to offer direct connection to its cloud-based services, as well as gain access to leading network service providers.
BlueJeans recently unveiled its Enterprise Video Cloud, a secure platform and extensible architecture that delivers business video communications on a global scale by uniting single-click video experiences with powerful IT management tools and a rich ecosystem of integration partners. Equinix Cloud Exchange supports BlueJeans’ Enterprise Video Cloud by offering global Tier-1 direct peering in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
“We’re so impressed with Equinix Cloud Exchange that we’ve nicknamed it ‘rocket fuel for BlueJeans.’ The direct connections we establish through Cloud Exchange are faster, more secure and more reliable than ever before. The increased safety and speed available through Cloud Exchange versus the public Internet has us aiming to greatly accelerate deployments among global enterprises,” said Dan Nater, vice president of operations, BlueJeans.
“As global and mobile workforces grow, so will demand for simple-to-use yet integrated, secure and reliable video communications experiences like BlueJeans, which greatly facilitate internal and external collaboration. And, like BlueJeans, SaaS providers looking to differentiate their service can utilize Platform Equinix and Equinix Cloud Exchange to ensure high-performance and secure delivery of their applications on a global scale,”said Bill Long, vice president of interconnection solutions, Equinix.
