They outgrew their existing service provider and needed an infrastructure solution that could handle the new global demands. Equinix fit the bill thanks to a worldwide presence, extensive value-added services and the ability to quickly scale operations. Business Challenge The rapidly expanding product portfolio and phenomenal growth meant they had to redesign their global network in order to: • Bring applications closer to enterprise end users regardless of location • Enhance performance and improve the overall quality of experience • Avoid vendor lock-in to lower costs by having better carrier choices • Have a data center presence in key locations across six continents • Realize a seamless integration of acquired companies • Improve collaboration among the global offices through improved net- work performance A global data center provider who could deliver on these requirements while incorporating the company’s existing legacy infrastructure was needed.

Finalists included Digital Realty, CoreSite and Equinix. Each provider undertook a rigorous on-site inspection process to verify facilities could meet demanding requirements including business continuity, disaster recovery, guaranteed power, cooling and security.

The company elected to deploy Performance Hub solutions in four Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX® ) data centers in Hong Kong, Tokyo, London and Silicon Valley. Performance Hub solutions are extensions of the enterprise corporate IT network co-located in Equinix IBX data centers. The winning factors were the Equinix global footprint, its industry-leading physical building security, comprehensive service levels and added-value services such as Equinix Smart Hands™.
