ESG Brief: Equinix: Better Business Results with Better Network Interconnections
ESG Brief

Mar 11, 2016
Most users think of networking as devices to deploy on-premises or as an underpinning for cloud providers’ infrastructure, but with an increase in workloads deployed in the cloud, it’s key to consider the importance of the network interconnections that support workloads in service providers. Modern workloads are increasingly dependent on interacting with customers and partners on a wide network. IT needs to treat these capabilities as a core platform for deployments and a way to gain business value, as opposed to a set of features based on simple speed comparisons.
For example, Equinix, a global interconnection and data center company, recently completed its acquisition of Telecity Group plc, which increases its reach worldwide as it augments its earlier acquisition in APAC of Bit-isle in Japan. Equinix increasing its capacity in Europe helps its European customers, but also benefits its worldwide customers.
To help customers understand these benefits, more emphasis ought to be placed on consulting services to change the mindset and considerations for a journey to using an interconnected platform.
