Case Study: Growing Agricultural Company achieves successful Equinix co‑location migration and assured global service delivery with NETSCOUT

Growing Agricultural Company Gets to Root of Successful Co-Lo Migration With NETSCOUT Visibility

A global agricultural company with more than 4,000 employees acquired a regional business and migrated its services into an Equinix co‑location to avoid expanding its own data center footprint. The acquired site had limited local IT resources and lacked real‑time monitoring, creating risk to business continuity and to critical applications including SAP/ERP, SaaS platforms, and unified communications. The parent company needed centralized visibility to assure service levels before, during, and after the migration.

To address this, the company standardized on NETSCOUT’s smart visibility stack—nGeniusONE, InfiniStreamNG appliances, nGenius packet flow switches, and nGenius Collector for NetFlow—extending real‑time monitoring into the Equinix co‑lo. The deployment delivered centralized, real‑time analytics from U.S. operations, ensured co‑lo performance met SLAs, improved reliability of SaaS and SAP/ERP services, and expanded monitoring for UC/VoIP, driving broader adoption of nGeniusONE across the business.
