Solution Name

Hybrid Cloud Environment - Virtual Private Cloud

Solution Description

Given that you have considered using Cloud Services for an urgent project and the uncontrollable size of the Data, but you have noticed that Data sovereignty and Security issues may prevent you from storing everything on the Cloud via Internet. You may want to consider using a turnkey solution that allows you to spin-up hardware and connect directly to cloud and network providers without having to rearchitect applications or dramatically change your current virtual environment. With Equinix Metal you can take advantage of public or hybrid cloud infrastructure without having to build anything yourself. 
By leveraging our hardware for your compute, storage, networking and firewall, you can quickly stand up the infrastructure. With our interconnection capabilities, you can be in proximity to clouds and directly connect to achieve lower latency than you currently have with your infrastructure and data. Because Metal works much the same way as your current physical infrastructure, you most likely don't have to refactor applications, and moving to “private cloud” becomes more of a lift and shift. This gives you the speed and agility that you need to meet your goals, while allowing your team to manage this infrastructure themselves as you do today and maintain the control that you currently have.
The other benefit of this approach is that it allows you to begin to execute your cloud strategy without having to make a large Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) investment up front— when embarking on cloud for the 
first time, this flexibility is key since it is new territory and there will be unknowns along the way.
