Case Study: Fortune 500 Financial Services Company achieves 35% latency reduction and 25% application performance improvement with Equinix Performance Hub

Leading financial services company reduces latency by 35% and increases application performance by deploying Equinix Performance Hub™

A leading East Coast Fortune 500 financial services firm with more than 8,000 employees and a 7,000-person partner network struggled to deliver consistent, low-latency access to on-premise and cloud applications (Microsoft Office 365, Salesforce, Redtail CRM, etc.) across a dispersed workforce and nationwide offices as it prepared for greater cloud adoption.

Equinix deployed bi-coastal Performance Hub nodes (Ashburn and Silicon Valley), connecting regional offices via VPN/MPLS and providing secure, direct access to networks and cloud providers to move services closer to users. The redesign reduced average latency by 35%, improved cloud application performance by more than 25%, and enhanced overall user experience and cloud readiness.
