Equinix and The London Internet Exchange (LINX) Announce Partnership

LONDON--(Business Wire)--
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), the leading global provider of
network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, and The
London Internet Exchange (LINX), one of the world's largest Internet
exchange points, today announced a partnership agreement that will
extend the LINX peering fabric into Equinix's London-4 (LD4) Internet
Business Exchange (IBX(R)) data center located in Slough.

The partnership will enable LINX members to access Equinix's
premium colocation services. Similarly, Equinix customers joining LINX
will be able to connect on site to directly exchange traffic, or
"peer," with LINX's extensive member base, increasing reliability,
improving performance and reducing the costs of network traffic
exchange.

LD4 is a next generation purpose designed data center utilizing
the most advanced infrastructure for industry leading resilience and
operational efficiency. The site offers approximately 10,000m2 (107,
600 gross sq. ft.) of space with 24 megawatts of power, providing LINX
members with access to colocation capacity for high density
installations.

As the UK's leading Internet exchange point, LINX provides the
interconnection infrastructure for its 280+ membership base. It is a
mutual, non-profit organisation whose members include almost all the
major U.K. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and content delivery
networks plus many from the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific
and Africa.

"We are pleased that LINX and Equinix are working together on this
project. Our presence at the new Equinix London-4 site creates an
excellent opportunity for our members to grow and develop their
businesses," said John Souter, CEO of LINX. "We believe that this
relationship will ensure the efficient and reliable exchange of data
between some of the largest networks in the world for many years to
come."

"Network peering continues to be the primary method for data
transfer between the world's networks, providing the foundation for
the efficient flow of Internet traffic, from email to video," said
Eric Schwartz, president of Equinix Europe. "Partnering with Internet
exchanges like LINX, who have an existing critical mass of quality
ISPs and connected parties operating within their network, is an
important element of our global service offering, providing customers
with the highest-performance platforms for exchanging Internet
traffic."
