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.

This increases performance, lowers network costs by reducing unnecessary access and backhaul connections, and utilizes flat-fee direct connections to broad sets of services.
