Equinix Simplifies Connectivity to Google Cloud with Quick Connect – Interconnections – The Equinix Blog
In many of today’s use cases, cloud adjacency is the new on-premises strategy. Enterprises can store their databases in close proximity to where they run workloads and use secure, high-speed network connections for top performance and service delivery. Let’s explore a few use cases of how enterprises in various industries are using Equinix Fabric, our software-defined interconnection solution, to seamlessly connect their on-premises database environments, such as Oracle Exadata, to their modern application environments running in Google Cloud. While these use cases were completed successfully, using Quick Connect to Google Cloud Platform in the future will streamline the configuration process of making these network connections.
Bank collaborates with Equinix and partners to deploy hybrid cloud solution
A large national bank needed a database platform to enable payment application migration to the cloud at scale while ensuring compliance with complex and always-changing banking regulations. The payment applications running in Google Cloud had to be in proximity to the bank’s Oracle database, which was stored on-premises in an Exadata Cloud@Customer environment.
The bank’s partners, including Equinix, designed a hybrid cloud infrastructure to deploy the bank’s Oracle database on Exadata Cloud@Customer in an Equinix IBX® colocation facility. Then, the bank used Equinix Fabric to connect the database to its applications running on Google Cloud. This solution maintained full performance and features, scalability and support.
