On October 14, 2025, Equinix, NetApp, Broadcom, and Kochasoft announced a joint collaboration to deliver a managed service for SAP S/4HANA and legacy workloads running on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). The partnership leverages Equinix’s global interconnection platform to provide low‑latency, secure connectivity for SAP customers worldwide.
The new service will enable SAP customers to run their core ERP and legacy applications on a fully managed, cloud‑native infrastructure, reducing the need for on‑premises hardware and accelerating migration to hybrid cloud environments. By integrating VMware Cloud Foundation, the offering promises consistent performance, simplified operations, and tighter security for mission‑critical SAP workloads.
Strategically, the collaboration positions Equinix as a key enabler for SAP’s large enterprise customer base, opening a new managed‑services revenue stream that complements its existing colocation and interconnection business. The partnership also strengthens Equinix’s footprint in the high‑growth SAP market, which is increasingly demanding cloud‑ready, high‑density compute solutions for AI and analytics workloads.
The announcement signals Equinix’s continued focus on expanding its platform services into high‑value verticals, potentially driving incremental revenue and deepening customer relationships across the global data‑center ecosystem.
