Hurricane Electric to Expand Global Network Connectivity Infrastructure at Equinix

Network Reach Will Extend to Asia and Europe
FREMONT, Calif. & FOSTER CITY, Calif. & TOKYO--(Business Wire)--
Hurricane Electric, a leading Internet backbone and IPv6 Internet Service
Provider, and Equinix (NASDAQ:EQIX), a provider of global data center services,
today announced that Hurricane Electric will extend its points-of-presence to
additional Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers outside of
the United States. The expansion to Equinix`s Toyko-2 (TY2), Hong Kong-1 (HK1)
and Zurich-1 (ZH1) centers will enable Hurricane Electric to improve fault
tolerance, load balancing and congestion management infrastructure capabilities
for the delivery of next-generation IP access services. It will also enable
Equinix customers to directly exchange IP traffic, or "peer," with Hurricane
Electric`s global Internet backbone which is interconnected with more than 500
associated IPv6 backbones.

The increasing demand for IPv6 content in Asia and Europe has led to Hurricane
Electric`s global expansion into Asia and Europe. By leveraging Equinix`s
high-quality and network-rich data centers to easily deploy network nodes,
Hurricane Electric will provide next-generation and reliable IP access services
for its customers.

"We are delighted to further expand our relationship with Equinix," said Martin
Levy, director of IPv6 strategy at Hurricane Electric. "Our growing global
footprint through Equinix will give our customers the geographic reach and
extended IPv6 functionality they are demanding."

Hurricane Electric first deployed IPv6 on its global backbone in 2001. It is one
of the few global Internet backbones that is IPv6-native and does not rely on
internal tunnels for its IPv6 connectivity. IPv6 is offered as a core service
and every customer is provided IPv6 connectivity, as well as classic IPv4
connectivity.

"Our relationship with Hurricane Electric, a well respected IPv6 player, further
demonstrates our leadership role in operating robust data center infrastructure
with operational excellence," said Jarrett Appleby, chief marketing officer of
Equinix. "Operating also within our TY2, HK1 and ZH1 centers will put Hurricane
Electric in the middle of an existing community of international and local
networks and carriers for its next generation IP access service."
