Case Study: Providence achieves cost savings and faster digital app deployment with Equinix Fabric and Network Edge

Providence builds health ecosystem of the future

Providence, one of the largest not-for-profit healthcare systems in the U.S., needed secure, reliable, and cost-effective cross-region connectivity to support its digital transformation and its innovation hub in Hyderabad. To modernize its health ecosystem and handle sensitive medical data at scale, Providence turned to Equinix Fabric® and Equinix Network Edge for a flexible network architecture.

Equinix built a virtual hub in Singapore and connected Providence’s global sites through Equinix Fabric, enabling on-demand, private interconnection without the cost of physical infrastructure in India. With Equinix, Providence reduced network costs by 27% and cut digital application deployment time from more than 200 days to just one to two days, while improving collaboration and support across its organization.
