Case Study: Leading German Automotive Supplier Company achieves faster time-to-market and cloud-focused digital transformation with Equinix

Leading German Automotive Supplier Company - Customer Case Study

A leading German automotive supplier—maker of traditional vehicle safety systems now expanding into digital services like parking apps, autonomous driving and smart tire sensors—needed a more agile, cloud‑focused infrastructure. The company faced the complexity of connecting multiple cloud providers across continents and required regional hubs in Asia, Europe and North America to reduce operational overhead, meet data/security compliance and speed time to market.

The company deployed Platform Equinix across four IBX data centers in Germany, the US and Asia, using Equinix Connect for multihome backbone reliability, ECX Fabric for on‑demand multicloud connections via a single port, and Equinix Smart Hands for local support. This simplified global connectivity, cut CAPEX/OPEX by replacing many on‑prem backups with cloud services, improved latency, security and compliance, and delivered the scalability and agility needed to accelerate digital offerings.
