Case Study: Fortune 500 Construction and Mining Equipment Manufacturer achieves scalable, secure global connectivity and 300% ROI with Equinix

Fortune 500 Construction and Mining Equipment Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A Fortune 500 multinational manufacturer of construction and mining equipment engaged Equinix after rapidly shifting markets and intense competition—particularly in Asia—threatened its global strategy. The company needed a geographically extensive, trusted data‑center partner to relocate its disaster‑recovery site, enable global strategic initiatives (expand aftermarket parts, services and collaboration) and provide private access to cloud service providers.

By deploying Platform Equinix (Performance Hub, Data Hub and Cloud Exchange) the manufacturer gained a scalable, secure global network that supports frequent large backups/DR, secure global application testing and on‑any‑device access, and seamless private multi‑cloud connectivity—creating a foundation for IoT and big‑data innovation and faster market entry in China. A Forrester TEI composite estimated a 300% ROI, $17.28M NPV, 4.2‑month payback and a 42% reduction in latency.
