Equinix Sponsors Data Center Event

January 31, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center operator Equnix (eu.equinix.com) announced on Thursday that has become a gold sponsor for Data Centre World (datacentreworld.com), which will be held in London, UK from February 26 to 27. Michael Winterson, VP of sales and marketing for Equinix in Europe, will be speaking at the event in a presentation titled, “Solving the data center crisis – Faster access to next generation data centers and interconnectivity.”

“Many enterprises do not want to commit to the significant and continued financial investment, nor do they have the resource and expertise to build and maintain an in-house data center environment to today’s stringent standards of performance,” says Winterson. “Outsourcing the data center element of its infrastructure to a specialist provider like Equinix gives an enterprise the opportunity to take advantage of minimal financial risk, highly specified technical environments, access to a complete range of cost effective network services and ability to focus on the core business.”

Data Centre World is a conference that focuses on the data center sector and examines the issues surrounding selecting, outsourcing, building and running a data center. The conference is free to attend and some of the topics that will be covered include mitigating risks resulting from power failure, how to overcome the heat issues, outsourcing and connectivity.

Earlier this week, Equinix selected Infinera for its metro networks linking its Internet Business Exchange centers in major cities across North America and Asia.
