All companies need to adapt to new commerce and collaboration models to stay competitive.

Digital transformation is accelerating. People, software and machines are consuming data faster and in more locations than ever before. This data explosion is creating new pressures and opportunities for business and technology leaders who need to aggregate data in new, scalable ways that allow for real-time analysis. As the pace of transformation quickens for every company in every industry, having the right IT infrastructure and leveraging private interconnection can solve this complex integration challenge. Today’s businesses are faced with complex, fragmented infrastructure that comes from multiple providers, spans private and public environments and is distributed across many geographies. This traditional infrastructure was not designed to meet the needs of today’s shifting digital landscape and global disruptive events. To succeed with digital and stay ahead, you need an approach to IT that is globally dispersed, agile and dynamic.

At Equinix, we believe digital infrastructure should be your greatest source of competitive advantage. But to get there, you need one place to build the foundational infrastructure to power your success.

We bring together and interconnect the infrastructure you need to accelerate your digital advantage. To enable this value, we deliver:

Interconnection to scale with agility.

Reach to launch new digital services globally.

Edge to deliver world-class digital experiences.

Ecosystems to multiply value.

Confidence to leap ahead.
