Equinix Partners with Resolute CS to Enhance Last-Mile Connectivity
LONDON and BOSTON, Jan. 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a leader in digital infrastructure, has announced a strategic partnership with Resolute CS, a connectivity technology innovator. This collaboration aims to automate the design, pricing, and ordering processes for global last-mile access through the Resolute NEXUS™ platform. The integration will streamline the connection from the enterprise edge to Equinix Fabric, ultimately enhancing cloud capabilities for Equinix customers.
Addressing the Edge Connectivity Gap
As interconnection platforms have revolutionized cloud access within data centers, the challenge of edge connectivity persists, often hampering deployments and inflating operational costs. Businesses increasingly seek robust last-mile solutions to maximize their operations and commercial investments in cloud technologies.
Existing providers rarely cover every geographical area, making it difficult for enterprises to expand globally without engaging in lengthy sourcing negotiations. Patrick C. Shutt, CEO and Co-Founder of Resolute CS, emphasized the necessity for change: “The industry has settled for fragmented, regional access solutions for too long. We are breaking that model.”
Enhancing Network Flexibility and Performance
By addressing the edge connectivity issue, businesses can unlock the full potential of their network and cloud investments, leading to accelerated deployment and enhanced performance. Arun Dev, Vice President of Digital Interconnection at Equinix, noted, “Our collaboration with Resolute CS expands the reach of Equinix Fabric, giving customers transparent access to thousands of leading network providers.”
This expanded access is critical as companies prepare infrastructure for next-generation AI workloads that require distributed and interconnected environments. With a programmable, AI-optimized network linking over 270 data centers across 77 markets, Equinix is equipped to unify diverse geo-locations and streamline enterprise connections to the cloud.
