Equinix Customers: 1,100+ Growth Strategy Equinix s growth is driven by three key factors: the continued expansion of the Internet, which is increasing the demand for high quality co-location services, which is prompting the large network providers to de-emphasize or exit the colocation business to refocus on their core business of providing bandwidth; and the company s differentiation created by the number of networks located in Equinix, creating a share shift among remaining providers as well as purchases from first-time outsourcers. Additional growth drivers include: Equinix s IBX s are the fastest growing peering hubs in the US and a growing number of customers are utilizing Equinix interconnection services. The expanding relationship with current customers who are increasing their reliance on Equinix by purchasing additional services or using Equinix s new managed or interconnection services. The realization of the network effect created by existing customers bringing in additional business partners into Equinix for efficient business operations. The growing importance of service customers such as IBM and EDS in the hosting markets, who use Equinix as a valued part of their Fortune 1000 customer solutions.
