Equinix has launched Equinix Managed Solutions (EMS) in Australia, intended to address technology infrastructure complexity, evolving security and compliance requirements, as well as the ongoing specialist skills shortage.

EMS combines enterprise-grade digital infrastructure with fully managed compute, storage and AI, allowing organisations to consume those capabilities as a service, the company said.

The EMS portfolio includes managed private cloud, storage and managed AI factory services, together with implementation services for Equinix Fabric and Network Edge.

It is backed by enterprise service level agreements, and includes global 24/7 monitoring, proactive maintenance, software updates, optimisation and support through to the operating system layer.

Customers retain full ownership and control of their data, with privileged access carefully managed while benefiting from advanced security capabilities built into the service.

"Many organisations are reaching a point where traditional approaches to managing infrastructure can no longer keep pace with the demands of AI, hybrid cloud and increasing cyber security requirements," said Joseph Crawford, VP of Equinix Managed Solutions.

"Owning infrastructure is no longer where organisations create value; value comes from what they build on top of it.

“EMS simplifies IT operations, optimises infrastructure costs and accelerates digital transformation, allowing organisations to focus on the applications, data and experiences that differentiate their business while Equinix manages the underlying infrastructure."
