Equinix

Equinix is an internet company that provides data center services for companies, businesses, and organizations. Put simply, it is about managing your IT, from help desk to infrastructure, as an outside partner.

It makes the most sense for small and mid-sized companies. They also list Cloud Data Services, Data Center and Infrastructure, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a very large team, 5,000+ people, which usually shapes who they work with. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

Equinix is based in Redwood City, California and around since 1998. Their site is equinix.com.

Things worth asking about: response SLAs, onboarding, and what is billed per hour. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Equinix, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
