As a leading custom server and storage system manufacturer specializing in personalized configurations, what enable Equus to steer ahead of the competition is their people and the services that they wrap around their product. “In the market today, most companies see Equus as a product company. While that is true, our engineering, solutions, and service staff are one of a kind in the white-box arena,” adds Hasapopoulos.
Traditionally, content delivery network service providers want to create their own custom configurations and manufacture their hardware equipment on demand to reduce their server costs while configuring them for optimal performance. By designing and building customer-specific platforms, Equusenables CDN service providers to meet their price and performance needs. The team begins by surveying vendors for options to identify the ideal solution. Once in place, they manage the entire lifecycle of all their clients’ server components. “By leveraging our direct partner relationships, we collaborate with our customers to maintain inventory levels that in-turn minimizes surprises,” informs Hasapopoulos.
