Managed Private Storage

Equinix offers Storage-as-a-Service “Managed Private Storage (MPS)” worldwide. It provides scalable, secure, and flexible storage resources to businesses of all sizes across the globe. MPS is designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance, cost-effective data storage solutions, thus allowing businesses to focus on their core competencies without worrying about data management.

As businesses become more digitalized, data is being generated exponentially and companies are facing challenges to scale, storage and manage the life cycle of those massive data volumes. The priority is finding a flexible solution that can continuously grow to accommodate data in a secure and reliable way. The huge volumes of data are putting additional pressure on finding solutions that can balance cost and the expected level of access and resilience for those data solutions.

Provisioning physical, dedicated storage hardware that needs to have its capacity planned and purchased for the long term is no longer an option. Many companies want flexible solutions that can meet different protocols, features, performance and costs to choose from, without the need for managing multiple physical assets.

MPS provides a “Storage-as-a-Service” solution for customers in a “Cloud-adjacent” environment where customers can consume storage in a utilization based model that aligns with demand. With Equinix Managed Private Storage, customers will be able to purchase storage in line with the exact volume needed. Storage environments can grow in a smooth and fast manner as companies use additional resources more in line with their core business outcomes. You can choose the combination of products that best suits your storage needs, buying per Gb for each option and region.
