Get Multicloud Right

Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) analysts note in the Multi-cloud Application Deployment Report that although achieving cloud-like agility is imperative, the cloud is not ideal for some workloads. Your peers cite latency requirements, difficulty implementing security, and costly migrations when holding back their workloads from the public cloud.

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers a middle ground, in which you can access cloud-like scale without the hassle of complex deployments, tedious management, or heightened risk. Equinix Metal fills this gap between “do it yourself” colocation and cloud to offer not only a fast, but also secure, infrastructure. 

Join this webinar on April 24th, 2024, at 1pm ET or save your spot today for ESG’s Economic Validation of Equinix Metal. ESG Principal Economic Validation Analyst Aviv Kaufmann sits down with Equinix Head of Product Jason Power and Dwight Ringdahl, CRO of PubWise.io, to:
• Examine Metal’s validated benefits and cost savings 
• Compare Metal’s expected TCO vs. the cloud
• Showcase a Metal success story from PubWise
