2. 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.

4. 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

5. 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

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

8. 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

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

10. Growing Cloud Momentum
Business acceleration depends on quick, customized interconnection with cloud partners anywhere

12. IOA: Success Stories

13. 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

14. Equinix-MS Azure Stack: Use Case 2
Benefits
High Performance
