Case Study: Economus achieves a 40% performance boost and refocuses on core business with Equinix Managed Services

IT transformation leads to increased performance with managed services

Economus, a Brazilian closed complementary pension entity serving roughly 24,000 participants and 42,000 beneficiaries, ran its entire IT on-premises with no disaster recovery plan until 2018. To lower costs, improve security and reliability, and free IT staff for strategic work, the organization decided to migrate its infrastructure to Equinix.

Within three months Economus moved its ERP, commercial sites and web applications to Equinix IBX data centers (SP3 primary, SP1 contingency) and adopted Equinix Managed Services for databases and Hyper‑V. The change delivered a 40% performance increase, fewer incidents, a disaster recovery capability, a shift from CAPEX to OPEX, and access to Equinix’s global ecosystem with >99.9999% availability, allowing internal teams to refocus on core business priorities.
