Point of View Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) Enterprise Productivity Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) Point of View February, 2018

Predictions for the Connected Enterprise Multi-Cloud Convergence Rise of Interconnected Fabric convergence of multiple clouds across the enterprise – data, applications, infrastructure and personal clouds In acceptance of an interconnected fabric among enterprises – residing in carrier neutral facilities - to create a central nervous system that connects all aspects of the digital business Security becomes Paramount Rise of Digital Edge Moving from point security solutions to the flexibility of buying Security-as-a-Service with benefits such as speed of implementation, ease of set-up and maintenance, real time protection, etc. To better engage with customers in real-time, leveraging social, mobile, analytics and cloud technologies Age of Interconnected Commerce S/W defined Infra & advanced Networking Interconnected commerce and payments providers will create new opportunities for the integration of payments, commerce, data, and marketing, enabling new solutions around the globe Networks now be dynamically controlled via software. Going forward, the next generation infrastructure - compute, storage, network and data centres - will be open source based. The Internet of Things Helping in distributing the traffic more broadly as well as to better control the performance of the streaming IoT information for more real-time business and operational insight.

Forcing Business and IT to Transform As the digital economy continues to rapidly grow, revenues shift, and the majority of economic growth moves to digital, the traditional organizations are transforming both their business architecture and IT delivery architecture together — from siloed and fixed to integrated and dynamic. From Siloed & Fixed … .. To integrated & dynamic Traditional Business Ecosystem Digital Business Ecosystem Serialized and haven’t significantly changed digital Integrated business processes with partners Creating Centralized Silos of Apps & Data Digital engagement with customers, employees, partners and Digital products/services Investment will not address the demands of digital Digital companies can innovate fast, fail fast and adapt to change Re-architect, re-skill and re-tool for continuous change to compete in digital Integrated cloud services

Interconnection Oriented Architecture (IOA) IOA is a proven and repeatable architectural framework that both enterprises and service providers leverage to directly and securely connect people, locations, clouds and data. IOA integrates the physical and virtual worlds where they meet. IOA Principles Simplify Topology Localize & Optimize Network Traffic Flows Bring WAN & LAN together at the Edge Create Security Guard Rails Localize security services Govern multi-party flows with boundaries & inspection zones Establish Data Fabric Localize data requirements Balance data access with protection Govern data movement Integrate via Intersection Point Localize application services, as a multi-cloud, multi-party business and integration point

Interconnecting multiple elements… Driving Digital Transformation Interconnecting multiple elements… Omni-channel Integration & Seamless Digital Experience People Rewire Topology for Secure Growth, Reach & Scale (security, bandwidth & performance) Locations Digital Business Platform of Interconnected Ecosystems & Markets Clouds Operational Excellence & Servitization (insights, real-time analytics) Data

Need: Re-Architect the Network & the Edge The digital edge is where to localize delivery of cloud-supported services to customers, employees and partners

Interconnection-First Strategy (with Edge Node) Manage metadata & data pipeline Data exchanges & data integration Place edge analytics & streaming flows Establish distributed data repository Solve data cache placement Localize & optimize the traffic Segment the traffic flows Establish multi-cloud connectivity Offload internet traffic at the edge Connect to digital ecosystems Implement API management Plumb for messaging Apply distributed coordination Positive complex event processing Introduce predictive algorithmic services Establish boundary control Create an Inspection zone Apply policy enforcement Co-locate identity & key management Integrate security analytics & logging

IOA: A Reference Model Deploy the nodes to build your global interconnection platform

Growing Cloud Momentum Business acceleration depends on quick, customized interconnection with cloud partners anywhere Cloud Partners Cloud Traffic and Workloads Cloud Traffic will quadruple between 2013 & 2018 6.5 ZB 166 million cloud workload 1.6 ZB 57 million cloud workload 2013 2018 About 78% of all workloads will be cloud based by 2018. Cloud workloads growing significantly (24% compound annual growth rate [CAGR], while traditional data centre workloads are declining [-2% CAGR] Source: Cisco Global Cloud Index, 2014

IOA: Success Stories

Equinix-MS Azure Stack: Use Case 1 Equinix and Microsoft Azure Stack with ExpressRoute for consistent hybrid cloud and fast, agile development of business & consumer apps. Challenges Requirement for an on-premise component due to performance, regulatory and/or technology considerations Preference for a turnkey managed experience combining on-premise components with cloud offering as an integrated solution Multiple branch offices/regional deployments require centralized management and integration with cloud or shared service Solutions Fully integrated Azure Stack deployment for a consistent hybrid cloud solution with Azure Address latency issues with edge hybrid connectivity via Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric and ExpressRoute Speed up development with consistent processes, DevOps tools, and open-source components Develop and deploy applications in Azure, with full flexibility to deploy on-premises using Azure Stack to meet specific regulatory or policy requirements—without changing any code Benefits Updated legacy applications in hybrid mode with a consistent DevOps process in both cloud and on-premises deployments Very low latency to Microsoft Azure provides superior application performance Large bandwidth connectivity enables scalability to meet growing cloud needs High-availability and redundant infrastructure matches mission-critical business requirements

Equinix-MS Azure Stack: Use Case 2 Benefits High Performance Application Mobility Visibility and Control Accelerated On-Prem App deployment

MS Azure with IOA: Benefits Businesses can directly and securely access Azure Stack hybrid cloud environments as part of an IOA Azure ExpressRoute enables high-performance, low-latency connections via the Equinix Performance Hub and Cloud Exchange. Enables enterprises to consistently develop applications faster by leveraging a predictable and secure high-performance Azure Stack hybrid cloud interconnect fabric. An integrated, managed Microsoft, Equinix and Dell EMC Azure Stack Business Solution directly and securely. Interconnects Microsoft Azure ExpressRoute with Dell EMC system, storage, networking and management components Benefits Proximate, high-speed, low-latency interconnection between Microsoft Azure Stack and Azure compute resources (10 milliseconds or less) Fast interconnection between Azure compute resources and private storage, Consistent interconnection performance between all the solutions’ components, including public cloud resources An up to 36% increase in data throughput performance using ExpressRoute versus the public internet

MS Azure with IOA: More Use Cases Develop and deploy a single global application, then migrate to Azure Stack and/or Azure to handle regulations or customer preferences with no changes to the application An example of this is adhering to corporate policies regarding HIPAA Compliance & Regulation Solve for connectivity issues, while providing real-time performance, and managing large data volumes for the aggregation of analytics and big data modelling Examples include remote factories, cruise ships and race tracks Edge & Disconnected Solutions Apply a modern architecture to on-premises applications not ready for the cloud, and, over time, move to Azure without code changes while enabling a consistent programming model, skills and processes Examples include on-premises mainframe, Oracle or SAP systems Modern Hybrid Applications
