For when one–size doesn't fit all workloads, take control of your infrastructure and build the cloud you need, your way.
The ease of infrastructure as code, plus…
Avoid noisy neighbors and reduce latency with single tenant infrastructure and direct connections.

Enable continuous integration pipelines to test code at a global scale, without exposing it to the internet.
Don't waste time on "just in case". Absorb seasonal spikes in traffic, or increase capacity on demand for fast-growing applications.
Prototype in an environment that's as flexible and scalable as you need to fit your ever-evolving workloads.
We can create scale tests of thousands of nodes where we can go in and see what's happening down to the packet level
Equinix comes in with a very robust ecosystem. And it's not just buying software and slapping it on servers, this is highly tested and pre-validated software
You never have to worry about huge security vulnerabilities on your infrastructure or being completely out of date
We benefit from the ability to scale via an API. On Equinix Metal we run our build services, our tests and also have our content distribution nodes with Equinix. We have a self-built CDN which benefits from the global presence of these bare metal data centers.
Having access to bare metal servers is particularly important for the team, because they need to build software for multiple architectures, including 32-bit and 64-bit versions of both x86 and ARM CPUs. With Metal, Alpine can run its builds directly on bare metal and finish them faster than would be possible on virtual machines
Some of the edge opportunities that we encounter benefit from the deeper levels of precision and control of the hardware and the infrastructure. And you can only get that depth of precision, and the ability to configure as you need, from the dedicated infrastructure that Equinix provides
Its low overhead and efficient data collection minimize the impact of observability on your systems while providing deep visibility into kernel-level events, network packets and system calls.
