Equinix: Global Data Centers that Protect, Connect and Power the Digital Economy
How can we ensure the vitality of the digital economy? This is the question Equinix’s founders asked in 1998 when the Web was revolutionizing information-sharing between businesses.
Their answer was to offer businesses a place to reliably run and grow their operations and securely exchange critical information – and this is exactly what Equinix continues to do today.
We do this by building and operating large-scale data centers around the world that offer the highest levels of reliability and security and, more importantly, give major networks and businesses a place to interconnect. This growing community of customers – spanning networks, enterprises, financial companies, technology service providers, digital media, social media and cloud applications – forms a thriving information ecosystem. We call this Platform EquinixTM.
