The Global Interconnection Index, published by Equinix, is a new global baseline that tracks, measures and forecasts the growth of Interconnection Bandwidth*.
Private data exchange between businesses is forecasted to grow nearly 2x faster—and by nearly 6x in data volume—than global IP traffic.
United States is expected to grow 40% per annum to reach 1,800+ Tbps of installed capacity by 2020, contributing more than a third (36%) of Interconnection Bandwidth globally
