How is Equinix
Cloud Exchange
unique?
™
“[Equinix Cloud Exchange] provides
organizations with a cutting-edge
interconnected exchange of various
best-of-breed global clouds and
networks on an as-needed basis.
This is accomplished through a
networking fabric managed by
Equinix that controls the ingress and
egress of traffic.”

"Equinix's ability to provide on-demand and
direct access to multiple types of clouds —
hybrid, public and private — as well as
connections to multiple destinations from
their data center locations is critical in
helping our customers improve their
business performance."
Graham Taylor
Senior Vice President of Marketing, TW Telecom

“Equinix’s international reputation and its
excellence in premium data center provisioning
helps us stand out in the market. We’ve noticed a
big difference in customers’ confidence in our
services since being deployed in Equinix’s data
center.”

What makes an
Equinix IBX
different?
“Equinix has a track record as a
global interconnection point for
cloud providers and cloud users.
We chose to work with Equinix as
we wanted to be part of a rich
cloud ecosystem that would give
us the opportunity to access a
broad pool of potential customers
and partners to grow our
revenue.”
Grant Kirkwood

solutions in a more secure, predictable, and highperformance manner via the combination of our

“We’ve worked closely with Equinix to design an
intelligent, open and programmable network architecture
that delivers elastic, high-speed, high-performance for
inter- and intra- data center connectivity. Equinix Cloud

““Equinix is a clear competitive
differentiator for us. Having all those Tier 1
provider paths available to me is huge. If
our public cloud provider is ever not
available, we can continue to serve our
customers through [Equinix’s direct
connection]. Equinix allows us to expand
into areas not served by a direct
connection to the cloud.””
CTO and co-founder of Badgeville
www.equinix.com
“Having deployed within Equinix will enable the
continued expansion of the business as we can
more easily bring on new customers and provide
an excellent level of service.”

What makes an

Amazon cloud in Equinix allowed us
to migrate our infrastructure to our
own machines while maintaining
reliable, low-latency access to legacy
systems in AWS”

“Deploying with Equinix in Hong Kong
brought us immediate benefits as we
entered the Asia-Pacific market. Its rich
ecosystem of network providers means we
can offer the best price to our customers,
while its global footprint ensures we can
achieve rapid deployment and scalability
as we expand our presence across AsiaPacific.”
Richard Davies
CEO, Elastichosts
www.equinix.com
“Having our largest customers just a
cross connect away helps us forge
stronger business relationships, a
huge advantage that we could not get
from other data center providers.”
Director of Data Center Operations at Box
www.equinix.com
12
“We told the team to find the best data
center provider. It was no surprise that
Equinix came out the winner. Facilities
can look impressive on paper, but
quality and availability comes down to
the people running the facility. All of
these factors contribute to the fact that
Equinix has delivered reliable service
over the long haul.”
Jeff Whitehead
Chief Technology Officer, Zetta
www.equinix.com
“Through our partnership with Equinix, we have helped
our customers move to a cloud architecture and will
ensure a seamless transition for all our future customers

VPN Protection
“Virtual private networking gives
them better protection against
Internet threats while also delivering
the reliability, agility and performance
they need when accessing the cloud.
This agreement with Equinix will
expand the opportunity for cloud
service providers to use our virtual
private networking and AT&T
NetBond technology to enhance the
end user’s cloud experience.”
Jon Summers
Senior Vice President growth platforms, AT&T

“Equinix’s infrastructure will ensure we are set up to cope with
the new transmission speeds as the National Broadband
Network rolls out. Our adoption of their services will allow us to
expand the business, as we can more easily bring on new
customers and continue to provide an excellent level of
service.”

“By combining Level 3’s network
with the Equinix Cloud Exchange,
we are making it easier for our
customers to grow and improve
the efficiency of their business
operations with access to a
broader range of cloud services.
With pre-established network-tonetwork interfaces (NNIs) from
Level 3 to Equinix, combined with
Level 3’s dynamic bandwidth
capability, customers can quickly
turn up and scale their cloud
solutions.
Anthony Christie
Chief Marketing Officer, Level 3

“Business customers want rock-solid network-based security
protecting their traffic and applications when they use cloud
services. Virtual private networking gives them better protection
against Internet threats while also delivering the reliability,
agility and performance they need when accessing the cloud.
This agreement with Equinix will expand the opportunity for
cloud service providers to use our virtual private networking and
AT&T NetBond technology to enhance the end user’s cloud

Cloud Made Simple
"As a company that specializes in
cloud infrastructure and open
data services, we understand the
many intricacies that are
incorporated into developing
successful cloud strategies. The
Equinix Cloud Exchange
simplifies the process of
establishing hybrid cloud
deployments by connecting
enterprises and services
providers, delivering the many
benefits associated with cloud
environments.”
Mark Worsey
Chief Operating Officer and EVP for GoGrid
www.equinix.com
22
Pre-Equinix Cloud Solution
“In the pre-ECX model, an enterprise
customer that wanted to establish
direct connection to AWS or Microsoft
Azure would need to purchase
separate ports and direct connections
to connect to multiple cloud vendors,
thus increasing the cost and
complexity, while managing multicloud deployments.”
Cloud With Equinix
“ECX (Equinix Cloud Exchange) simplifies
the process of private network
connectivity to cloud providers as it allows
customers to use a single port and
establish separate virtual circuits to a
cloud supplier’s network.”
“The edge equipment from multiple
vendors is further interconnected within
the ECX that enables cloud users to
seamlessly move workloads among their
own servers and multiple vendor clouds.”
Roopashree Honnachari, Industry Director, Cloud Computing &
Business Communication Services , Frost & Sullivan

23
What makes an
Equinix IBX
different?
“Other colocation sites give you four
walls. Equinix is a partner that cares
about our business and helps us
connect with a global marketplace of
partners and customers.
That’s very rare.”
Director of Data Center Operations at Box
www.equinix.com
24
“The value that Equinix brings to us is
the ability to minimize downtime when
implementing a new deployment. With
its rich global ecosystem, Unitas has

performance and significantly lowering
bandwidth costs.”
Grant Kirkwood
Founder and CEO, Unitas Global
www.equinix.com

Galerie with Equinix Cloud
Exchange, we are expanding our

and software service providers to
ensure they can put the best
possible hybrid cloud solution in
place to meet their individual
business needs.”

fantastic experience with them in Singapore. In
this competitive cloud and managed hosting
market, we need to differentiate ourselves by
collaborating with best-of-breed IT vendors like
Equinix…”
David Loke, CEO and co-founder of ReadySpace
www.equinix.com
27
“We do have plans to expand within the
Asia Pacific region in the next two years,
and in five years break into European and
US markets. With Equinix’s global platform,
we will be able to grow into these markets
easily with the assurance of receiving the
same level of service quality and
performance.”

FireHost addresses the demands of
multinational customers for high-speed,

markets, without compromising on
security and connectivity. It is a highly
complementary relationship that benefits
the industry in the long run."
Chris Drake,
founder and CTO, FireHost

Sustainability
“Equinix has recently taken a big stride in its energy
transparency. With plans for a new green web portal,
Equinix will provide a snapshot of its energy demand and
related greenhouse gas footprint, as well as electricity
supply mix at a regional level. That makes Equinix by far
the most transparent of the colocation providers.”
