Die Cloud ist zu einem zentralen Treiber der Digitalisierung geworden: In Deutschland planen laut einer Umfrage von Equinix 63 Prozent der befragten IT-Entscheider, mehr Funktionen in die Cloud zu verlagern. Besonders beliebt sind hybride und Multi-Cloud-Architekturen, die eine hohe Flexibilität und Skalierbarkeit bieten.

In diesem Kontext, hat der global führende Rechenzentrumsanbieter Equinix die Ernennung zum Google Cloud Premier Partner bekannt gegeben. Equinix beherbergt in ihren Rechenzentren aktuell bereits 35 Prozent der globalen Zugänge zu Google Cloud. Die vertiefte Partnerschaft ermöglicht es Unternehmen nun, kritische Workloads noch einfacher in die Google Cloud auszulagern. Die Kombination aus Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric (ECX Fabric) und Google Cloud Interconnect bietet dabei agilere und skalierbare Hybrid-Cloud-Services, die die digitale Transformation vorantreiben und zusätzliche Wachstumsimpulse für Unternehmen schaffen.

Partnership Between the Two Companies Enables Frictionless Migration of Enterprise Workloads to the Cloud

Equinix, the global interconnection and data center company, announced it has become a Google Cloud Premier Partner. The partnership enables enterprises to more easily connect and migrate priority workloads to Google Cloud. Global IT strategies are increasingly moving toward hybrid multicloud solutions as businesses leverage the flexibility and scalability these architectures offer. Equinix provides private interconnection for companies operating across markets to improve their global reach and seamlessly connect to key customers, partners and suppliers. Customers utilizing Equinix’s interconnection services will also benefit from support around the configuration of their telecom and service architecture—facilitating accelerated digital transformation.

The combination of Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric (ECX Fabric) and Google Cloud Interconnect services provides more agile and scalable hybrid multicloud services to further support digital transformation and enterprise growth; while the integration of Equinix SmartKey and Google Cloud External Key Manager (EKM) provides customers with secure key storage, encryption and tokenization services to address performance and risk. This also supports governance and compliance requirements at the digital edge, close to clouds and carriers.

Findings from Equinix’s 2019-20 Global Tech Trends Survey - which explores the key technological trends defining organizations’ IT strategies across the world—showed a global trend toward the adoption of hybrid multicloud strategies and an increase in the number of IT functions dependent on the cloud. As an additional support to businesses looking to simplify hybrid multicloud infrastructures, Equinix recently rolled out one of its largest expansions of ECX Fabric, providing increased access to a rich ecosystem of clouds, networks, partners and customers, most critical to digital business.
