Summary
Equinix (Q9 Networks)
colo datacenter
A legacy Q9 Networks ASN, now part of Equinix. Q9 was a Canadian colocation and
managed-hosting operator; its data centers passed to Bell Canada and then to
Equinix, the world's largest colocation/interconnection company.
What it's used for
- Colocation, interconnection, and enterprise hosting out of Canadian data centers (Toronto, Calgary, and others).
Notable
- An IP here identifies the colo/interconnection facility as the host, not the tenant. Equinix operates many regional ASNs worldwide; this one carries the former Q9 footprint in Canada.
Interesting
- Q9 Networks was acquired by Bell Canada in 2012, and its data-center portfolio was sold to Equinix in 2020.
