Friday, August 7, 2026
Equinix, a digital infrastructure company, has announced that All Nippon Airways has transformed its digital infrastructure with Equinix Fabric to support the next generation of passenger services, including reservations, boarding, customer communications and operational systems. Facing a projected 10x increase in global data volumes, these Japanese airline established a centralised Cloud network hub that reduced network provisioning time by approximately 80%, making resources available for application development and testing. This agile foundation allows ANA to accelerate application testing, increase business agility and target a 30% reduction in its five-year total cost of ownership. Contd
As organisations modernise digital infrastructure for hybrid multi-Cloud environments and growing data volumes, many are adopting more agile and scalable connectivity models. ANA’s deployment of Equinix Fabric reflects this broader shift. This is transforming its network into a future-ready digital foundation that includes passenger services, increases business agility and supports long-term growth. Through Equinix Fabric, ANA has accelerated connectivity deployment, improved cost efficiency and strengthened its ability to support the next generation of data-driven passenger experiences. Equinix helps ANA ensure security and compliance through private connectivity, consistent centralised policy enforcement and alignment with modern security frameworks.
Jun Nakazato, Manager, IT Infrastructure Team, Digital Governance Department, Digital Transformation Division, All Nippon Airways said, “Our rapid business expansion demanded a network with unprecedented flexibility. Rather than continuing to expand our existing network environment, we recognised that implementing network-as-a-service was the most effective path forward. Equinix Fabric delivers the dynamic foundation we need to scale seamlessly. Equinix serves not merely as a vendor, but as a critical strategic partner in modernizing our global systems and enabling our future growth.”
By centralising connectivity through Equinix Fabric, ANA has transformed its network from a traditionally provisioned infrastructure into a more agile, software-defined platform. The Cloud network hub provides secure, on-demand access to leading Cloud environments while enabling ANA to scale connectivity more efficiently as business needs evolve. Faster infrastructure provisioning and seamless connectivity across Cloud environments can enable more integrated customer services, real-time operational coordination; and earlier adoption of new applications and services. This flexible architecture supports ANA’s broader passenger service modernisation strategy and provides a resilient foundation for advanced analytics, automation, emerging AI workloads and future digital innovation.
Kuniko Ogawa, MD, Japan, Equinix said, “ANA’s deployment of Equinix Fabric demonstrates what’s possible when enterprises evolve how they consume infrastructure, not by ripping and replacing, but by adding intelligence and flexibility on top of a resilient physical infrastructure. We’re proud to support ANA as it builds a digital foundation capable of handling tomorrow’s data demands while delivering better experiences for passengers today.”
