Equinix Wins Energy Innovator Award at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Energy Summit

"Energy Efficiency Partner" Award Recognizes Equinix Program to Optimize
Efficiencies at its Silicon Valley 2 (SV2) Data Center
FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center services, was
awarded a Silicon Valley Power Energy Innovator Award in the "Energy Efficiency
Partner" category at the Silicon Valley Leadership Group Energy Summit hosted at
Stanford University on June 29th. The award recognizes the nearly $1 million in
rebates that Equinix received from the City of Santa Clara for energy efficiency
measures implemented through an expansion at the company`s Silicon Valley 2
(SV2) International Business Exchange (IBX) data center.

The Silicon Valley Power Energy Innovator Awards honor both large and small
organizations for their support of energy efficiency and renewable energy. The
awards are presented in the following categories:

* Environmental Innovator: rewarding an organization for all-around efforts to
support energy efficiency and renewable energy;
* Energy Efficiency Partner: rewarding an organization for outstanding
implementation of energy efficiency programs and application of rebate programs;

* Green Power Champion (renewable energy): rewarding an organization for
innovative and successful green power purchases and implementation of other
renewable energy programs.

As a part of Equinix`s expansion at its SV2 center, the company implemented a
variety of efficient procedures, such as installing air-side economizers that
use the outside air to provide "free cooling" and drastically reduce the amount
of mechanically produced cold air needed for the center. This system has
resulted in energy savings of more than 4,000,000 kWh and $300,000 per year.
Equinix also installed variable frequency drive (VFD) fans that allow for
greater efficiency by operating at reduced fan speeds when there is a lower
demand for air distribution. This upgrade has resulted in annual savings for
more than $51,000 in power consumption. Finally, the project included the
installation of LED light fixtures and occupancy sensors that will provide
annual energy savings of 100,000 kWh.

Keynoted by former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the 2009 Energy
Summit brings together industry and policy experts for an interactive day of
presentations and engaging discussions on energy leadership. Topics include:
