ABOUT THE CONTENT

The Home Depot needed to digitally transform their business and they were encountering common roadblocks such as legacy technology, data security and massive workloads to migrate. By leveraging Google Cloud and Equinix, they were able to obtain consistent, reliable, secure, and scalable business cloud connections across the enterprise IT infrastructure by directly connecting to Google Cloud’s secure, scalable, flexible, reliable platform from Equinix data centers. Enterprises that connect directly to Google Cloud Platform through Equinix Cloud Exchange can achieve low latency network compute performance, improve the ability to move large volumes of data in and out of Google for analysis or storage and easily manage the network availability & flexibility that comes with dedicated connectivity.
[push h=5]
We’ll examine:

• How to connect to GCP with highly reliable and secure networking to support extending your data center networks into the cloud
• How to achieve a seamless omnichannel experience for customers
• How to transition to an on-demand, scalable infrastructure
