Product features
- Rapidly provision compute and networking infrastructure in markets you want access to, before investing significant CAPEX for hardware to place in colocation.
- Quickly scale a software-as-a-service offering to improve performance, with proximity to customers in growing metros.
- Implement a disaster recovery site quickly with control over hardware configuration and network design.
- Consolidate data centres or migrate to cloud after merger or acquisition and use Metal to bridge hardware or application rearchitecting gaps.
- Reduce public cloud egress costs and reduce risk by scaling infrastructure on demand, based on customer traffic.
Working with Equinix was a crucial part of ensuring we could scale. Few can combine massively scalable infrastructure with ultra-low latency networking in the way that Metal does.
