Equinix Scoops Double Honours at Leading Datacentre Awards
2008-04-14
London, UNITED KINGDOM 14 April, 2008 Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX),
the leading global provider of network-neutral datacentres and Internet exchange
services, walked away from the Data Centre Europe Awards 2008 as winners of the
Green Award and the Best Disaster Recovery Service Provider at the ceremony held
at the InterContinental Hotel in London last week.
Equinix was short-listed by a panel of independent judges based on its
credentials in the fields of disaster recovery and managing its environmental
impact.
Guy Willner, Equinix President - Europe, comments: It is a great honour to win
the Best Disaster Recovery Service Provider Award for a second year in a row and
a tremendous accolade to be recognised with the Green Award. Equinix is
committed to reducing the environmental impact of its datacentres while
maintaining the highest levels of performance for customers so we are delighted
to be recognised for the work are doing in this field.
Together with customers, Equinix is working to address energy consumption in
datacentres. Providing the most efficient datacentre design and infrastructure
is the single most significant impact Equinix can have in enabling customers to
lower their energy consumption and cool their equipment located within its
centers. As a specialist provider and by focusing exclusively on datacentres,
Equinix has pioneered new strategies that maximise space, minimise operating
costs and lessen environmental impact.
Equinix provides comprehensive infrastructure solutions that enable companies to
continue business operations during a natural or man-made disaster or, if that
operation is interrupted, to restore normal operation with minimum loss. In 2005
Equinix (IXEurope at the time) acquired GIC, the leading business continuity
service provider in Germany, which strengthened its competency in this field.
The Data Centres Europe 2008 awards ceremony provides a platform to raise
awareness of the importance of the sector in Europe and to facilitate an
independent reference point for excellence. The underlying value of the awards
is to recognise leadership, innovation and value creation in the data centre and
managed services sector.
Guy also represented Equinix on the CEO Panel at the conference earlier in the
day, along with Michael Winterson, VP Sales and Marketing Europe, who
participated in the Investor Panel.
