EQUINIX INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES

As the world’s leading interconnection and data center provider, Equinix has the expertise, seasoned professionals and proven track record that will make your data center implementation seamless. 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 INSTALLATIONInstalling 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). We can project manage the entire process; provide professional structured cabling, rack and stack your equipment in the cabinets, and install all power strips as well as cabinets, ladder racks, fiber trays and security systems.

MIGRATION made easyA 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.

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!

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.

We simplify the entire sourcing process, and handle all aspects of vendor management, procurement and delivery. You’ll enjoy the convenience of working with a single vendor as well as the benefit of a single invoice. Working with our team will ensure that not only will your equipment investments meet your needs but that your new purchases will perform consistently and accurately within our data centers, avoiding potential interoperability issues.

We also take a synchronized approach to equipment procurement. Rather than having equipment show up at random intervals, it arrives when it is needed and access is available. Equinix tracks the entire process, from procurement to delivery to the customer’s cage. We even handle all the tickets behind the scenes—so there’s no need to generate new help tickets or new purchase orders. The entire process is seamless and remarkably stress free. And should any issues arise, you only have one vendor to call for resolution.
