Case Study: Equinix achieves BYOD enablement and app innovation with MobileIron

Equinix Enables BYOD and Sparks App Innovation with MobileIron

Equinix, a global interconnection company connecting more than 4,000 businesses across 31 markets, faced a BYOD challenge as employees adopted iOS, Android, and Windows Phone devices for work. A small, three-person InfoSec team needed centralized control, real-time visibility, and automated policy enforcement to manage growing device volume without adding operational overhead.

Equinix deployed MobileIron Connected Cloud and Sentry with Apps@Work to push in-house apps, enforce corporate security policies, track devices, and perform selective or full wipes. The solution enabled the lean InfoSec team to manage thousands of devices for roughly 2,700 employees, improved security decision-making with real-time device data, and sparked internal mobile app innovation while strengthening data protection globally.
