Leading Data Center Services Provider, Now Relied Upon by Thousands of Global Businesses, Launches Company-Wide Initiative Focusing on Strategic Mission and Global Orientation
Foster City, CA – October 27, 2008 – Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today announced the launch of a new corporate brand initiative as it marks its 10th anniversary and the company’s expanding global operations. The initiative features a company-wide focus on the company's vision of ensuring the vitality of the information-driven world and its mission of protecting and connecting the world's most valued information assets. It also includes a new brand identity and logo that visually support these messages.
“Ten years after Equinix was founded on the groundbreaking idea that the infrastructure of the Internet and modern IT operations needed a centralized and high performance physical environment in order to grow, Equinix has now become a critical element in the information-driven world and is relied upon by thousands of businesses around the world,” said Steve Smith, president and CEO of Equinix. “As the world is more connected and dependent on information than ever before, this company initiative will build upon Equinix’s current leadership position and our continued commitment to anticipating the needs of our customers and delivering a consistent and premium customer experience worldwide.”
In addition to reinforcing the vital role that Equinix plays in the increasingly important exchange of global information, the new brand will be consistently extended across all elements of Equinix’s business in visual and non-visual executions, from the way company representatives answer the telephone, to the alignment of the company’s global product and service offerings, to the emotional and visual experience that people have when they enter one of Equinix’s data centers.
The most visually prominent element of the new brand will be the company’s new logo, which represents a fortress structure, symbolizing the critical role that Equinix plays in safeguarding its customers’ information assets. In addition, with the increasingly global nature of its business, Equinix’s Internet Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers will be re-branded as “International Business Exchange” data centers, representing Equinix’s evolution beyond Internet connectivity to global network connectivity.
The new brand initiative comes one year after the acquisition of leading European colocation services provider IXEurope, which provided Equinix with an extensive presence in the European market. This expansion, together with Equinix’s existing operations in leading markets in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, has enabled Equinix to develop the industry’s only comprehensive and premium global service offering.
