Back in 2000, Web traffic congestion was the norm, and experts had doubts that the infrastructure of the Internet could scale to meet the demand for its growth. To ensure the future growth of the Internet, several major IP backbones looked to establish strategic interconnection hubs at a single neutral data center operator. They chose Equinix.
Soon, the top networks, carriers and ISPs followed and more than 680 of them have established strategic points of presence at Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers around the globe. You can leverage this density and diversity of interconnection partners in our sites to achieve the network deployment speed and scale you need to meet your revenue plan. What’s more, our global footprint in 38 markets across 5 continents makes it easy for you to grow revenues by expanding your network presence and services into new regions. Best of all, you can use the same infrastructure in the same sites to cross connect directly to more than 4,000 cloud services, content, enterprise, and financial services customers —you can’t do that in a carrier hotel."
