A Equinix Case Study
trivago, founded in 2005 in Düsseldorf, is one of Europe’s most successful internet companies and the world’s largest hotel search site, serving over 20 million monthly users across 39 country sites. From the start it needed an affordable yet highly secure, reliable and scalable data centre partner to support fast proprietary search engines, handle rapid traffic growth (150,000 monthly visitors in 2005 and far more since) and enable international expansion without service interruptions.
trivago selected Equinix for its superior global footprint and robust IBX® infrastructure, deploying colocation in Düsseldorf (DU1) and Silicon Valley (SV1) and using services like Smart Hands, cross-connects and Metro Connect. The partnership delivered high security, reliability and performance, easy and fast scaling into new markets, competitive advantages from dense carrier connectivity, lower predictable operating costs and reduced manpower needs — ensuring consistently fast, reliable service for site visitors.
