IDC MarketScape vendor analysis model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT suppliers in each market. The research utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor’s position within a given market. The Capabilities score measures vendor product, go-to-market, and business execution in the short term. The Strategies score measures alignment of vendor strategies with customer requirements in a three- to five-year timeframe. Vendor market share is represented by icon size.

Highlights

  • Interconnection plus colocation is essential to remove the distance between users, cloud services, ecosystem partners and customers for higher performance and lower network latency
  • Enterprises need to optimize networks to reduce costs and improve scale across strategic locations, simplify hybrid-cloud access and distribute security to manage risk
  • With global interconnection there is an environmental need for improved sustainability. Equinix has a long-term goal of implementing 100% renewable energy
Equinix's strength is the company's comprehensive global footprint that has seen its brand become synonymous with neutral colocation data centers.
