Equinix and Nimbo streamline enterprise migration to AWS

Equinix, Inc., the global interconnection and data center company, together with Nimbo, has introduced two solutions to streamline Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud deployments inside Equinix – the AWS Direct Connect Converged Infrastructure bundle and Equinix Cloud Exchange™ enablement solutions.  Both will be available in all Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers that offer AWS Direct Connect or Equinix Cloud Exchange.

Today, enterprises are looking to move more production workloads to the cloud to achieve business agility, improve application performance, and control costs. However, many organizations must navigate a range of tools, technologies and data security concerns when expanding their private IT platform to include the advantages that the cloud can provide. AWS Direct Connect bundles are a set of advanced hybrid architectures that help reduce this complexity while providing peak performance for customers moving to AWS.

The Converged Infrastructure bundles feature deployment tools from Nimbo; NetApp’s NPS capability and Cisco Intercloud Fabric; along with secure, direct connection inside Equinix’s data centers.  These bundles enable enterprises to use the same storage and network management tools used in their on-premises deployments as they migrate to public, hybrid or multi-cloud architectures.  Customers can now connect familiar infrastructure to AWS and receive the crucial security, performance and control they need, while benefiting from direct, private access to AWS.  Locating their infrastructure in the same Equinix data center as an AWS Direct Connect access node provides a high level of security, performance and control, enabling customers to fully leverage the flexible options that hybrid cloud provides.
In addition to collaborating on the AWS Converged Infrastructure bundles, Equinix and Nimbo will also provide Equinix Cloud Exchange configuration and foundation enablement services, either as part of the Equinix Cloud Exchange Starter-Kit or as individual, stand-alone offerings.  The Equinix Cloud Exchange Configuration Package provides enterprises with configuration and testing services for a supported cloud service provider, such as AWS, along with the customer router(s) attached to the Equinix Cloud Exchange. This provides a turnkey cloud connection, an immediately useable cloud account, and a seamless extension to cloud services for corporate resources.
