Equinix Opens New $95 Million L.A. Area Data Center

Equinix`s Fourth Data Center in the L.A. Region to Accommodate Demand From
Entertainment and Digital Media Companies
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today
announced the opening of its fourth International Business Exchange (IBX) data
center in the Los Angeles area. The new center will accommodate the demand for
premium data center colocation and network exchange services in the Los Angeles
region from companies in the entertainment and digital media sectors.

Located near Equinix`s existing LA3 center in El Segundo, CA, the new 177,000
square foot LA4 center will feature a total capacity of approximately 3,000
cabinets at full build out. The $95 million first phase of the center, which
opens today, will support 800 cabinets and more than 10,000 square feet of
IBXflex Space, Equinix`s offering for customers seeking office space within the
same data center as their equipment deployment.

For many of Equinix`s entertainment and digital media customers in the Los
Angeles area, a quality end-user experience is critical to their business
offerings. These companies utilize the network-rich environment of Equinix`s
centers to implement a robust, high-performance network connectivity
infrastructure that provides direct access with a wide variety of
high-performance network service providers and carriers. This enhanced
infrastructure ensures fast and reliable delivery of content to end-users
worldwide.

The new LA4 center is directly linked to Equinix`s three other Los Angeles area
IBX centers, including Equinix`s two downtown Los Angeles centers, through the
Equinix IBXLink service. IBXLink provides redundant fiber links that enable
customers to connect to each other across the four centers as if they were
located in the same building, providing customers in the new LA4 center with
direct access to the more than 60 carriers and network services providers
operating in Equinix`s existing L.A. area centers.

The new LA4 center is part of Equinix`s 2009 expansion program that includes
increasing the company`s data center footprint in 10 out of 18 markets in which
it currently operates. By the end of 2009, the Company will have invested over
$1 billion in expansions since the start of 2007.
