Service Specifications

Equinix Hybrid Cloud offers an essentially hybrid cloud environment with dedicated cloud capabilities (reserved exclusively for the user) and allows the consumption of additional shared computing capabilities, while enabling the management of its multicloud environment in a single portal.

Capability consumption above the baseline established in the agreement may be charged On Demand.

This Hybrid Cloud provides a management portal where you can track your capability consumption, payments, and general product settings. In addition, you have access to the MultiCloud Portal (MCP), which allows you to manage your capabilities across other Cloud Providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP).

Service Modality

Hybrid Cloud is offered in Standard modality.

You can hire dedicated capabilities for this modality, and consume the capabilities on demand when needed. In this mode, you must previously choose the capacity to be hired as a baseline (choosing values for vCPUs, vRAM, vHD and, when applicable, Block Storage Tier1, Tier2, and Tier3).

You have a MCP to integrate and manage your public clouds (Azure, AWS and GCP). When connecting to these providers, you must pay a fee for each virtual machine that will be managed through this MCP.

Enablement

Equinix Brazil is responsible for the initial enablement of the Equinix Hybrid Cloud product, according to the mode you purchase. Enablement includes:

  1. Dedicated capabilities provisioning

  2. Access to the Equinix Cloud Portal

During enablement, you will receive access to the MCP that allows initial use. To connect the new Equinix Hybrid Cloud environment to the Internet, or to another user’s environment in the IBX, provisioning activities for other solutions are necessary, which can be purchased separately (e.g. Network Edge, EQX Cloud Exchange, etc.).

Support

Equinix Brazil offers 24x7 support for the Equinix Hybrid Cloud product. The following services may be ordered by opening a ticket with the Equinix Service Desk, by phone or online, at no additional charge:

Additional support and other services can be requested via the Equinix Service Desk, phone, or portal, and are billed separately as Premier Support Hours under a Non-Recurring Charge (NRC).

Billing

In Hybrid Cloud (standard), users commit to the baseline established in the agreement and On Demand payment of any extra capabilities consumed. Any usage over the baseline (as established in the agreement), using additional dedicated or shared capabilities) will be charged.
