Web Hosting News – FOSTER CITY, CA — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), a provider of global data center services, today revealed that its Financial Services business unit has added more than 100 customers over the last calendar year and now has more than 450 in total, with nearly 900 deployments*. This achievement highlights a year that has seen Equinix close its acquisition of Switch and Data, continue to expand its International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center footprint that currently spans 35 strategic metropolitan areas around the world, and greatly broaden its ecosystem of trading venues, buy and sell side firms, market data providers, technology providers and financial networks.
