Equinix Houses digg Web Site

July 19, 2006 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center and Internet exchange operator Equinix (equinix.com) announced on Wednesday that social content Web site digg (digg.com) is operating at one of Equinix's Silicon Valley area Internet Business Exchange centers. The deployment provides digg with immediate access to Equinix's major global network.

Digg enables its visitors to prioritize Web content, letting individuals decide for themselves what content is most important, rather than traditional editors or other content gatekeepers. Serving more than eight million page views daily, digg requires a connectivity infrastructure that ensures high-reliability interconnection with the networks linking digg to its end-users.

Equinix's Silicon Valley area center offers digg immediate and direct access to an aggregation of leading carriers, ISPs and network service providers within the same physical location. By operating within Equinix's global network, digg reduces bottlenecks in the path between content and end-users, providing improved performance levels. 

"The digg community is constantly challenging us to do new things," says Scott Baker, director of operations at digg. "We need a data center environment that is flexible enough to accommodate our growth, yet is rock-solid reliable. Equinix has been a great partner for us."
