“Anywhere, anytime, on any device” is the new normal for business operations requiring enterprises to exchange information in real-time every day. Navigating the digital space is a crucial component to not only stand out among competitors but survive in the market.
A recent IDC Market Insight report shows that 80% of enterprises will adopt hybrid clouds by the end of 2017 and 78% of enterprises believe that multi-cloud strategy is critical.
Tackling the digital landscape begins with organizing your architecture. It becomes a balancing act of how you deploy assets and resources to meet existing and new workload requirements.
How does a company begin to organize their architecture? It all begins with Equinix.

Since Equinix TR2 offers high-performance, multi-cloud connectivity and access to multiple networks across the globe, an Equinix partner was awarded a Regional Municipality of Peel purchasing contract. Within the request for proposal, it specifically outlined that services must be consumed out of Equinix TR2 to support their multi-cloud strategy.
Equinix’s global footprint has grown to 145 data centers with recent news that Equinix has entered into a definitive agreement to purchase 24 new data center sites and their operations from Verizon Communications, Inc. The addition of these strategic facilities and customers will further strengthen Equinix’s global platform by increasing interconnection in the U.S. and Latin America; opening three new markets in Bogotá, Culpeper and Houston; and accelerating Equinix’s penetration of the enterprise and strategic market sectors, including government and energy.
