A global digital-infrastructure company that runs hundreds of data centers across dozens of countries, where businesses rent space for their servers and connect directly to cloud providers through services like Equinix Fabric. Founded in 1998 by two former Digital Equipment managers who wanted a neutral place for rival networks to exchange traffic, its name blends "equality," "neutrality," and "NIX" (internet exchange). Today its facilities host the physical plumbing that lets competing networks interconnect.
