Partner POV | How Marvis is Transforming Network Management from Bob Friday
Marvis, the industry's first cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI) virtual network assistant (VNA) for network operations and troubleshooting, is the result of years of steady research, innovation, and vision, and it is changing the way networks are designed, deployed, and operated.
Equinix Fabric
Equinix Fabric is a software-defined network connectivity tool provided by Equinix that allows you to dynamically and securely connect between physical and virtual infrastructure. Equinix Fabric provides automated provisioning that allows the creation of direct connections and allows you to adjust bandwidth as needed in near real time.
Introduction to Equinix
Carrier Neutral Facilities (CNF) are data centers that operate entirely independent of network providers. They are very large connectivity hubs that provide their customers with access to other services, vendors and solutions.
Campus and Branch Briefing
Organizations depend on their campuses and branches not only as operational hubs but as vital touchpoints for employees and customers. A poor experience at these locations can erode brand trust, while a seamless, technology-driven experience enhances productivity, satisfaction, and loyalty. With the campus and branch increasingly reliant on robust networks, the stakes for getting it right have never been higher
