IOA Use Case With AWS

© 2016 Equinix Inc. Equinix.com 14 14

IOA Innovative Use Case: Data Migration with AWS

• Data Migration is multi-step, multi-disciplined approach to move workloads

– Move workloads and applications “out of the basement” and into AWS

Identify workloads and applications currently hosted on premise that can be moved to AWS

Build migration and connectivity plan to move them

– Benefits to organizations working with Equinix, Equinix partners and AWS

Simplified end to end experience

Improved application performance

Risk mitigation and improved control

• Data Migration: Private Connectivity Options

– Option 1: Private long line network connected to AWS Direct Connect

– Option 2: Hybrid proximity based private AWS Direct Connect connection


IOA Innovative Use Case: Data Migration with AWS

– Equinix

Equinix Cloud Exchange™ (ECX)

Equinix IBX® Data Center

EC2, S3, [full AWS portfolio]

Ecosystem Partners

– NetApp

NetApp Private Storage for AWS

» NetApp storage arrays live on customer’s premises and in their Equinix cage

– ViewQwest

Layer 2 connectivity partner

» Network connectivity between customer premise to Equinix IBX and Equinix Cloud Exchange (ECX)

IOA Innovative Use Case: Data Migration with AWS Option 2: Hybrid Enablement and Migration

Hybrid Enablement and

Migration (Option #2)

• Higher risk workloads and

applications require a hybrid

architecture

• Use Case: From on premise

NetApp storage to NetApp

cloud connected storage

connected to ECX or AWS

Direct Connect

• Performance: Storage is 36%

better IOPS over public

internet [NetApp]

• Risk Mitigation: Security
