Equinix is pitching their partnership with Microsoft to drive hybrid cloud solutions and Azure consumption. As the largest global provider of internet exchange points and carrier-neutral data centers, Equinix argues that locating workloads in their data centers and connecting to Azure via ExpressRoute provides customers the highest performance and most secure connections to help accelerate cloud migrations and increase Azure spending. The presentation provides case studies of customers who worked with Equinix and saw benefits like reduced latency, faster migration timelines, and increased Azure consumption revenue. Equinix proposes joint sales engagement, enablement workshops, and account planning to strengthen the Microsoft-Equinix partnership and cloud selling motions.
