A global leader in interconnection
Platform Equinix is a truly global interconnection platform which readily enables Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) strategies for enterprise. IOA is a transformative approach to interconnecting people, locations, clouds and data by integrating the physical and virtual worlds where they meet; shifting the fundamental delivery architecture of IT from siloed and centralized to distributed, interconnected and co-located.
*2016 FORRESTER REPORT
Meeting today’s digital demands requires enterprises to re-think and re-architect IT to extend their digital edge closer to the people, locations, clouds and data which define and impact their business daily. With an interconnection-first strategy, businesses solve networking, security, data and applications challenges by re-defining their digital edge using an Interconnection Oriented ArchitectureTM (IOATM). This proven approach enables real-time action and the ability to adapt quickly to an ever-changing digital landscape, securely interconnecting employees, partners and customers within digital commerce ecosystems to create new value while meeting scalability demands of the future.
Traditional enterprise networking approaches are plagued by limited choice of vendors, integration challenges, lack of flexibility and drawn-out provisioning times. This often results in restricted, unaffordable bandwidth while being difficult and expensive to build and operate globally. Realizing the full value of an IOA requires a platform-based solution capable of delivering the proximity, interconnection, digital ecosystems and expertise necessary to meet the digital demands of the future.
The global interconnection platform for the world’s leading businesses is Platform Equinix. With unmatched global reach, Platform Equinix enables enterprises with a suite of interconnection solutions providing direct interconnection with key cloud service providers, network service providers, customers and digital business partners.
Enterprises that employ an IOA leveraging Platform Equinix realize several advantages:
Enhanced performance—Connect directly to clouds with dedicated, low-latency connections which provide consistent performance without being susceptible to the congestion of normal internet traffic.
Greater choice of service providers—Hundreds of network and cloud providers co-locate in Equinix IBX™ data centers, providing enterprises with the greatest range of choice to define what is right for their business. The Equinix Marketplace, an online directory of service providers and ecosystem participants available at Equinix, enables Platform Equinix customers to quickly and efficiently locate and interconnect with business partners globally.
Increased scalability—Our IBX locations serve as meeting places with access to hundreds of cloud and network service providers, so you can quickly and easily scale bandwidth and expand geographically to gain proximity and performance where your business demands.
Bandwidth cost savings—In contrast to centralized IT locations, the proximity of Equinix IBX locations—along with the ability to access 1,400+ network and cloud providers globally—yields significant bargaining power while reducing total cost of transit. Analysis has found that an IOA can lead to a 40% reduction* in bandwidth costs, through competitive pricing with NSP and CSP choices available.
