Customers can also leverage the power of DevOps integrations, Kubernetes support, and a rich API to automate and orchestrate their infrastructure.
“Whether they need a single server, a full cluster, or a hybrid cloud solution, Equinix Bare Metal can provide them with the flexibility, reliability, and efficiency they need to power their enterprise applications,” Paul adds.
