# Equinix says financial firms need adaptable infrastructure as data rules shift

-   Equinix’s financial industry analysis urges firms to prioritize adaptable infrastructure over static data residency strategies as regulations and geopolitical conditions shift. \* At least 47 countries require some data storage or processing within their borders, increasing pressure on financial firms’ global operations. \* Adaptable infrastructure lets firms relocate workloads, change data routes or deploy sovereign environments without complete redesigns, supporting operational resilience. \* Conflicting US and EU requirements may require separate regional environments, making interconnected local platforms more practical than a single global digital presence.
