New Case Study

Coca-Cola European Partners leverage Platform Equinix for cost-savings

Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) group hopes to achieve $3 billion in cost savings over the next five years after the merger of three separate Coca-Cola companies. CCEP partnered with Equinix and interconnected to the LD5 London International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center, providing direct access to AWS—along with other cloud service providers via Equinix Fabric™. AWS Direct Connect achieves the requirements including low latency, security and privacy along with cost savings.

Rather than having to pay for lots of physical connections, we have a virtual circuit. It’s quicker to order and set up a new virtual circuit, should we need it. We end up paying for what we use, rather than paying for a 10GB link that is rarely fully used. We also put in the Equinix Connect solution to get Internet connectivity.
