For when one-size doesn’t fit all workloads, assemble your digital infrastructure when you need, where you need it, your way.
With digital infrastructure you can do more with...
Deploy close to customers and locations to enable low latency performance and drive a competitive advantage.

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
You never have to worry about huge security vulnerabilities on your infrastructure or being completely out of date
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
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.
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
We can create scale tests of thousands of nodes where we can go in and see what's happening down to the packet level
