Logicworks Leverages Platform Equinix; Delivers Managed Cloud Services to Enterprises

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Equinix Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIXNews), a provider of global data center services, and Logicworks, a provider of high availability public and private cloud hosting solutions, today announced the availability of Logicworks’ infiniCloud managed cloud solution in Equinix’s New York (NY4) and Silicon Valley (SV2) International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers. infiniCloud allows organizations to migrate mission-critical applications to secure, compliant private clouds or on-demand public clouds with infinite scalability.

Logicworks’ customers include media companies, such as Dow Jones, Major League Baseball and NBC, as well as financial services providers and healthcare organizations that have public and private cloud needs. For these customers it is critical to have a solution that will manage unexpected spikes in usage, while ensuring that compliance needs like HIPAA and PCI aren’t compromised. Additionally, Logicworks’ managed services offer the ability for customers to migrate specific applications to the public cloud, creating the opportunity for hybrid deployments to address changing business needs.

“Enterprises are becoming more strategic about how they deploy cloud solutions,” said Kenneth Ziegler, president and COO of Logicworks. “Now that infiniCloud is available on Platform Equinix, we’re able to offer organizations a way to move mission-critical applications to the cloud, without compromising any of their security or compliance requirements.”

Through Platform Equinix, Logicworks is able to directly connect to customers to deliver infiniCloud services. Equinix’s global footprint also enables Logicworks to provide private, public and hybrid cloud solutions beyond North America as the company expands globally.

“We’re seeing the evolution of cloud driven by organizations demanding more sophistication and flexibility in their deployments,” said Vince DiMemmo, general manager of Global Cloud Computing for Equinix. “Logicworks is bringing innovative products to market that not only change the way their customers do business, but also protect them against potential compliance or legal challenges they may experience with expansion.”
