What to run in Ashburn

- North American end users
- Transatlantic applications needing a US-side node
- US-market game servers and streaming origins
- Compliance requirements for data held in the United States
Connectivity in Ashburn
Ashburn, Virginia — often called Data Center Alley — carries an outsized share of global internet traffic and is the standard US East Coast interconnection point. Equinix's campus there peers with essentially every major North American network.
Jurisdiction and data protection
United States, outside the EU and the EEA. US law applies, including the CLOUD Act. This is the right site for a US audience and the wrong one for data that must remain under EU jurisdiction.
Who this site reaches well
The US East Coast, Canada, and the shortest transatlantic path back to our European sites.
Pair it with Frankfurt
Frankfurt is the transatlantic counterpart: one site each side of the ocean, both on Equinix, covering North America and Europe from a single account. See Frankfurt
Where Ashburn is the wrong choice
Ashburn is our only site outside Europe. If your footprint is genuinely global you will need a provider with Asia-Pacific presence as well — we do not have one.
Platform and stock
Servers here run the same platform as the rest of the network: KVM isolation, full root from deploy, BGP multi-homed transit and inline 2.5 Tbps DDoS scrubbing with nothing to activate. Stock varies by site — if a configuration is not currently available in Ashburn we will say so and point you at the nearest site that has it, rather than substituting hardware quietly.
