5 RETHINKING ENTERPRISE DATA, NETWORKS AND APPLICATIONS Transform IT to meet end-user expectations and increase business value. Data Bringing your data to the network reduces latency and increases application performance. Colocating your data on Platform Equinix enables the flexibility to more easily comply with data privacy and security requirements, rethink legacy information lifecycle management (ILM) objectives and integrate private data with cloud services. Network Existing network consumption models cannot keep pace with business demands. Enterprises can improve scalability, performance and cost by deploying Network Performance Hubs (NPHs) on Platform Equinix. NPH s are a transition from legacy premises-based WANs to an innovative carrier-neutral data center solution creating more IT flexibility and control. NPHs distribute workloads from data centers closer to end users. This increases performance, lowers network costs by reducing unnecessary access and backhaul connections, and utilizes flat-fee direct connections to broad sets of services. Moving to Platform Equinix allows you to connect to the right providers in the right locations at the best price. Applications With a solid network and data foundation, enterprises are able to fine-tune application delivery to optimize user experience. Deploying infrastructure on Platform Equinix facilitates innovative computing strategies such as own the base, rent the spike, linking private and public clouds for optimal performance and cost. A wide variety of managed services and SaaS offerings can be found on Platform Equinix to augment or replace legacy systems.
