Company Overview About Equinix

How can we ensure the vitality of the information-driven world? That's what our founders asked in 1998, when the Web was revolutionizing information-sharing between businesses—and exceeding its capacity for growth.

The answer? Use their expertise to offer businesses a place to reliably run their operations and securely exchange critical information.

Realizing this vision took perseverance, dedication and commitment. Large-scale data centers were created, offering the highest levels of reliability and security. But most importantly, these centers gave major networks and businesses a place to interconnect. Networks around the world and companies that pioneered Internet content began connecting across rooms, not geographic distances. Soon, enterprises and financial companies—also needing to connect to multiple networks—joined this thriving community, and an information ecosystem was created that became more vital with every new customer added. As digital media, social media and cloud applications continue to spring up in this new era of the digital age, Equinix enables global and emerging businesses alike to deliver their applications with higher performance and reduced latency through Platform Equinix. 

The world's top businesses rely on Platform Equinix to grow, expand geographic reach, improve application performance and protect their digital assets. Equinix connects businesses with partners and customers around the world through a global platform of high-performance data centers, containing dynamic partner ecosystems and the broadest choice of networks. 

Today, Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX) operates International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in 38 markets across 13 countries in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific. The ideas on which we were founded remain just as true today in our responsibility to ensure the vitality of an ever-growing, information-driven world. Equinix's mission is to protect, connect and power the digital economy.
