Carsales.com is the largest online automotive, and marine classifieds business in Australia. 

As part of its regional expansion into Brazil, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Mexico, the company faced integration challenges due to the inheritance of disparate technology capabilities across each market. 

It needed to optimise its core applications to ensure all employees could have access to their tools and systems regardless of location. 

The short video details how Carsales.com used Equinix and its interconnection platform to optimise its applications and connect to its IaaS and SaaS providers.
