CALLR Scales into New Markets on Platform Equinix
Highlights / Key Facts
- CALLR's unique platform allows its customers to reach users in over 220 countries using its voice and messaging API. To achieve this, CALLR needs access to network service providers in key markets, as well as access to cloud service providers and enterprises.
Equinix's global interconnection platform enables CALLR to tap into these business ecosystems for maximum connectivity to customers and partners across CALLR's digital supply chain. - By collocating its IT infrastructure in
Equinix's IBX data centers in key metros across three regions, CALLR strategically combines a physical Point of Presence (POP) and virtual cloud POPs to get closer to customers and carriers, at the network edge. These virtual POPs provide CALLR the ability to service customers in a particular geography without a full scale data center deployment or incurring overhead, to minimize cost. Today CALLR leverages virtual POPs hosted by leading cloud service providers, such as IBM Softlayer or Microsoft Azure. - CALLR offers a combination of voice and messaging API technology with the power of AI to build smarter customer engagement capabilities and innovative IoT interactions. This enables CALLR's customers to bridge between communications and IT on a single platform, integrating voice and SMS across a virtual media gateway to automate interactions with customers in a seamless way.
- Businesses such as CALLR continue to be challenged by issues facing mobile technology regardless of the application. As these businesses expanded there is an increased need to globally interconnect with people, locations, cloud services and data to maximize performance and user experience. With 150 data centers across 41 markets,
Equinix customers benefit from operating on a global interconnection platform to process, store and distribute larger volumes of latency sensitive data and applications at the digital edge, closer to end-users and local markets.
