Case Study: VWD Group achieves global data center consolidation, reduced costs and improved connectivity with Equinix

VWD Group - Customer Case Study

vwd group is a leading European provider of financial data and technology solutions that had been operating and maintaining its own data centers across multiple countries to meet global customer and regulatory needs. This approach proved resource- and cost-intensive, created compliance and standardization challenges, and diverted engineering effort away from the company’s core mission of delivering financial information and services.

vwd consolidated its footprint onto Platform Equinix using an Interconnection Oriented Architecture, moving core operations into Equinix FR7 and FR2 and building interconnected hubs in key financial centers. The move enabled direct cross‑connects to customers and cloud providers, improved latency and disaster recovery, reduced leased‑line and administrative overhead, and provided a scalable foundation for hybrid cloud—freeing vwd to focus on product innovation while meeting security, compliance and global expansion goals.
