Equinix, Inc., designs, builds, and operates the first carrier and IP network neutral Internet Business Exchange? (IBX?) facilities that are the catalyst for Internet business creation and growth. Equinix IBX? offerings provide content providers (CP), ISPs and component service providers (CSP) the highest quality of service and colocation available on the Internet. The ability to quickly and easily interconnect with each other provides IBX? participants the flexibility, speed and adaptability they need to react to current market conditions, expand their business offerings and enter new markets.
Equinix?s IBX? neutrality is unique since focuses entirely on bringing together the essential elements Internet businesses require to grow revenues and diversify the services they offer their customers. A critical component is the special design, construction and operation of the IBX? facilities themselves. Neutrality and an exchange-focused business model ensure business growth and creation for IBX? customers through offering an open, superior quality environment for them to compete freely and focus on their core competencies. As a result, Equinix customers are able to achieve a level of business synergy that is unparalleled in the Internet marketplace.
Equinix was founded in 1998 by Al Avery and Jay Adelson, who built, managed and operated the Palo Alto Internet Exchange (PAIX), the first generation neutral switching and peering facility for global and regional ISPs.
Equinix is a privately held company with investment from Cisco Systems, Microsoft Corporation, and Benchmark Capital.
