Equinix Q1 Profit Triples at $15.5 Million

Equinix announced their first quarter 2009 results today. Proving that the demand for colocation and data center services is still high, they had some good numbers.

I loved the reference to the old times and Jay:

When searching around for Equinix today I ran across a pretty interesting article at Forbes.com. It was from December 2, 1999. It gives the historical perspective on just how far Equinix has come..... I still put Jay Adelson as one of my top "Tech People to Know" list.

I really think the original team deserves a big thanks for their vision and the business model they left as heritage. And Jay is really a great guy, too.

Equinix: ‘Significant Pickup’ in March

Colocation and interconnection specialist Equinix (EQIX) saw a “significant pickup” in customer activity in the month of March, as customers that had deferred decisions made commitments.

Equinix said it was continuing to see strength in bookings from network companies and financial services firms with electronic trading operations. The company added 161 new customers in the quarter, and now has 2,384 customers leasing 44,500 cabinets. Smith said the company would continue to invest in expanding its facilities in key markets, and will be able to self-fund the construction.
