Equinix Datacentres
Cagliari, Italy and Foster City, CA — July 30, 2008 — Tiscali
International Network (TINet), the world’s only carrier exclusively dedicated to
the wholesale IP-MPLS market, and Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading
global provider of network-neutral datacentres and Internet exchange services,
today announced that TINet has selected Equinix as a strategic partner for the
expansion of the carrier’s European network initially from Equinix’s Frankfurt

reliability of their IBX datacentres as well as for the opportunities Equinix
offers to interconnect with important players and key customers across the
world, providing TINet with an opportunity to expand our global network while
enhancing reliability and performance and reducing overall costs,” said Paolo
Gambini, Sales and Marketing Director at TINet. “To strengthen our presence in
the European datacentre facilities of Equinix is part of our expansion plans of
TINet footprint worldwide.”
