No longer just for cloud connectivity , Equinix Fabric establishes a globally connected footprint of services that enables digital leaders to transform their businesses as they connect to everything and everyone that matters to their business .

“ With the pandemic creating a massive shift to remote working earlier this year , Aon was able to pivot and support 100 % of our workforce remotely without any reduction in services . We were also able to rollout new capabilities at a time when many companies were struggling to keep employees connected and remain productive ,” said Rakesh Inamdar , Senior Director of Core Infrastructure Services at Aon . “ All this was possible by building our digital infrastructure to be ready for disruption on Platform Equinix . Equinix ’ s trusted platform provides us the most connected footprint of capabilities and services , whether it be connectivity to a boundless ecosystem of technology partners with Equinix Fabric or easy

access to the largest carrier-neutral telecom aggregation points . By harnessing the power of the Equinix platform , we were able to bring together and connect our core infrastructure globally , in a highly secure and cost-effective manner .”
