Equinix have been at the centre of digital transformation for 20 years. We’ve helped multiple industry ecosystems exchange traffic at scale and are experts at helping companies enable global network and application performance. This channel will feature insightful talks on trending topics from our industry solution experts and 9700+ customers and partners; helping you solve for challenges, create competitive advantage, accelerate growth and gain agility.

As we continue to keep up with transformation in the digital architecture space, interconnected infrastructure with the ability to deploy physical infrastructure at software speed has never been more necessary. Creating a digital advantage for your organisation begins with adopting the best architecture. Customers want speed, interconnection, automation and integration. But how can you leverage this to stay ahead in the race to stay in the competition? 

Organisations accelerating their digital transformation (DX) efforts can find themselves struggling with scalability, security, performance and agility. In an era of immense change, your customers must operate smoothly and securely while prioritising transformation. However, there is no ‘one size fits all’ and each use case and customer are different. Enterprises are at different stages in their cloud journeys, which is why it’s so important to choose the right solution for your organisation.

Join us in this session as we discuss: 
-  Benefits of physical vs virtual deployments 
-  How to advance your architecture to stay competitive
-  Cloud transformers, cloud emigrants and cloud natives and what each is looking for
-  Why IT digitisation is such a priority today
-  Solutions that can solve customer challenges including Metal

Architecture in 2021: Interconnection, Automation and Speed

Hybrid infrastructure is the future, and the sooner that digital leaders embrace the world of hybrid, the better. Infrastructure is forever changing, and hybrid architectures signal the best way to stay on top of a rapidly changing infrastructure landscape, while moving away from traditional legacy IT and moving towards a modern digital infrastructure. But what are the business benefits of going hybrid, and what challenges does hybrid infrastructure solve?

From costly implementations, security, and keeping up with business demands, moving to hybrid infrastructure can solve many business challenges. Afterall, hybrid infrastructure is much more than just hybrid cloud, and learning how to leverage a hybrid digital infrastructure can benefit your organisation from digital transformation (DX) efforts to improve security and risk management, and much more. 

Join experts in the field as they discuss: 
-  The future of IT infrastructure and architecture and the emergence of hybrid models
-  Business benefits of hybrid infrastructure and the benefits it addresses
-  Importance of cloud adjacency in hybrid infrastructure
-  Trends in the hybrid infrastructure space
-  The value of interconnections in enabling hybrid infrastructure
