Equinix Continues Expansion of Swiss Operations with Second Data Center Planned for Geneva

Announcement of New 4,500 Square Meter (48,400 Square Foot) Center Comes Just
Weeks After the Company Detailed Plans to Build Its Fourth Center in Zurich;
Part of $1.4 Billion Expansion Program Since 2007

GENEVA & FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today
announced plans to build a new 4,500 square meter (48,400 square foot) data
center in Geneva, Switzerland. The new GV2 International Business Exchange (IBX)
data center is part of Equinix`s continuing expansion strategy to meet growing
global demand for data center services and will be the company`s second data
center located in Geneva. The new project more than doubles the company`s data
center footprint in the region and is part of Equinix`s $1.4 billion 2007-2010
expansion program for 15 out of the 18 markets in which it currently operates.

The data center will be built out in phases, with the first phase, scheduled to
open in December 2009, adding 380 cabinets to Equinix`s capacity in the Swiss
market. It will have a total capacity for 760 cabinets at full build out.
Further phases will open during 2010 and will be timed to reflect market demand.
The GV2 center adds to an already impressive footprint in the country and
follows on from Equinix`s recently announced planned expansion in Zurich, with
the addition of its ZH4 data center.

The GV2 center, which will be located west of the city center, will build upon
the range of services hosted at Equinix`s existing Geneva data center (GV1),
which is a strategic location for telecom operators and internet access
providers supplying Geneva-based corporations and banking organizations. In
addition to providing a centralized aggregation point for these networks to
operate, the GV2 center will offer colocation services and a variety of
interconnection and peering services, including direct cross-connects between
more than 30 networks. The GV2 center will also directly connect to Equinix`s
other Zurich and Geneva sites, making Equinix`s entire range of services
available to all customers operating in the region.

Equinix`s GV1 center is located 4.5 kilometers away from GV2, and comprises
3,600 square meters (38,600 square feet) of gross data center space, providing
excellent carrier connectivity from the many network service providers located
in this key market. This existing data center offers a full range of colocation,
interconnection, support, and monitoring services and is certified ISO9001.2000.

"As our recent growth plans in Zurich have shown, Equinix is committed to
increasing its operations in the Swiss market in order to meet growing local
demand," said Eric Schwartz, president of Equinix in Europe. "Expanding in
Geneva, a key financial market, is the next logical step for the company. With
the addition of GV2 to its expanding data center footprint, Equinix continues to
demonstrate its leadership within this market."
