Foreword
The Global Interconnection Index (GXI) is an annual market study published by Equinix that tracks shifts in the digital economy and their impacts on digital business. It reveals these shifts by measuring and forecasting growth in interconnection bandwidth—the total capacity provisioned to privately and directly exchange traffic with a diverse set of partners and providers at distributed IT exchange points. The GXI provides key insights into ways that leaders are using digital infrastructure to fuel growth, where it’s happening and how you can use interconnection—direct and private traffic exchange between businesses—to be prepared for whatever is next.
The GXI comprises three separate documents and a digital infographic:
