Platform Equinix offers one of the broadest data center footprints and portfolio of interconnection services in the market, with a digital ecosystem that includes: 1700+ network providers, 800+ digital content providers, 1250+financial services companies, 2900+ cloud and IT services providers, and nearly 3000 global enterprises.
