World’s Largest Data Center Company Begins Second Decade on NASDAQ as it Prepares to Cross the $1 Billion Threshold
FOSTER CITY, CA — August 11, 2010 — Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX, news, filings), a provider of global data center services, today celebrated the 10th anniversary of its IPO and listing on NASDAQ. Steve Smith, Equinix’s president and CEO, rang NASDAQ’s opening bell to mark the occasion. The company, which is on target to generate more than $1 billion in annual revenues in 2010, has just completed its 30th consecutive quarter of growth and continues to extend its leadership position in key markets around the world.
“The last 10 years have been characterized by our ability to capitalize on emerging trends and enable our customers to seize new opportunities,” said Steve Smith, president and CEO at Equinix. “Equinix has evolved considerably since our IPO, but the same characteristics that drove us in the beginning – creativity, innovation, commitment to our customers – continue to push us to new heights today. Our ability to execute to plan has helped companies build and expand their service offerings and that value is reflected in our growth.”
Several global macro trends have led to increases in the volume of rich content and dynamic applications in cloud and IT services, electronic trading, online video and mobile data.
