New hybrid cloud infrastructure enabled by Equinix and InfoFabrica brings about significant cost efficiencies and increased flexibility to scale operations to new markets
SINGAPORE, 16-Mar-2018 — /EuropaWire/ — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the global interconnection and data center company, today announced that Southeast Asia’s largest transportation booking services provider, Easybook, has saved up to 40 percent of cloud costs after migrating to a hybrid cloud infrastructure enabled by Equinix and InfoFabrica Consulting Pte. Ltd.
With dynamic economies in the South Asia region, international visitor arrivals in South Asia have grown 10 percent in 2017, according to the latest UNWTO World Tourism Barometer.[1] As a one-stop transportation ticketing platform, Easybook needed to improve the cost-efficiency of its IT operations in order to cater to the rapidly growing customer base, while reinvesting the savings into enhancing features and capabilities to deliver new market offerings.
By re-architecting its IT platform for a digital edge, and using Equinix Performance Hub™ and Equinix Cloud Exchange Fabric™ (ECX Fabric), Easybook was able to scale rapidly and meet the growing demands of the online travel industry.
