Equinix’s global footprint helps international e-retailer do business in restricted markets

A high-traffic South Asian online commerce platform requires a compliant, and flexible strategy for storing data locally, while connecting to local vendors in the Middle East and North Asia on their growing retail platform. 

The customer’s long term business goals require adherence to regional laws that allow them to legally engage with vendors and buyers on the platform.

Business Drivers

  • Building a distributed system to provide a secured extranet.

  • Virtual network functions (VNFs) and segregated firewalls via Equinix Network Edge.
