Whether you wish to install equipment in an Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX ), require advice on equipment investments or are ready to migrate your data center, our team is here for you. Worry free INSTALLATION Installing equipment in a data center is a complex balancing act, and demands a specialized mix of expert skills and disciplines. The first challenge: selecting the right vendors for your specific requirements. This step involves choosing the right mix of short-term cost management and long-term strategic vision that will future proof your investments. After you have finished selecting your equipment vendors, your next challenge becomes how to maintain an intricate project schedule across all vendors while you also stay within strict budgets and ensure the shortest implementation possible. The most logical approach to this sort of undertaking is to have one vendor manage the entire process. This approach vastly simplifies the process, speeds up overall installation and can substantially reduce overall costs. That s why employing Equinix makes the most sense. Equinix is the foremost expert in data center installations, having successfully installed more than 100,000 cabinets and 250,000 power distribution units (PDUs).

4 MIGRATION made easy A data center migration is a complicated project, one that you re not likely to repeat any time soon. In fact, most IT people have moved a data center only once in their career, so it s quite possible your team does not have in-depth experience in this area. That s where Equinix comes in. Managing application availability along with financial, time and physical risks is key to a successful migration. Application availability is the need to maintain access to applications without any downtime. Financial risks include keeping the project within budget for the actual move, but also avoiding the financial impacts of inadvertently voiding a warranty by ignoring vendor specifications regarding equipment moves. Time or schedule risks reflect the potential that the project will not be completed on time, which could result in increased costs and application downtime. Physical risks represent the possibility of damage to equipment or for any potential loss of data due to the migration. Our experienced data center migration professionals, with an average of 25 years of experience each, are well-equipped to help you get it done, on time and within budget. In fact, they ve accomplished more than 1,200 moves in the past ten years alone. They use a repeatable, proven process that assures the highest levels of availability, the lowest risk and the fastest migration times possible. Your Equinix team plans every aspect of the move, down to the smallest detail. This is true whether we re handling a simple move involving just a few cabinets or a highly complex move with hundreds of cabinets. We re even experts at handling worst-case scenarios. What happens if the truck carrying your equipment is delayed or you can t get mission-critical equipment online? We have the answer! Equinix Infrastructure Services MIGRATION 4
