Interconnection Helps You Realize the Promise of the CloudEquinix is the home of the interconnected cloud

Connection is key to

realizing the promised

business benefits of cloud

• One-to-one connection is not

enough, cloud success requires

interconnection

• Interconnection privately and

securely connects multiple clouds

across multiple sites using multiple

forms of access

Interconnection drives

cloud success

• For cloud services users:

Cloud-enable your company by

delivering the security, performance

and choice you need to rely on the

cloud for mission-critical business

• For cloud services providers:

The interconnected cloud gives you

the fastest route to cloud revenue

This is where businesses and leading cloud service providers

around the world come together and securely connect in

many locations in many ways to realize their cloud visions


USE CASE: Cloud and Big Data Speed up Weather Forecasting

• 15 Billion Weather forecasts

• Increase of 25 fold last 5

years

• Forecasts 2.2 billion

locations world-wide in real

time

• Cost Savings in Aviation,

Car Insurance & Logistics.

What has been the role of Cloud?“It allows us to do data analytics on the fly. It allows

us to be more precise, more timely and

everywhere. We used to create forecasts every six

hours. We now update those forecasts every 15

minutes for 2.2 billion locations. We’re operating at

a scale that we could not have ever imagined prior

to the cloud and prior to our ability to bring such

computer horsepower to bear.”

Mark Gildersleeve, President, Business Division,

The Weather Company
