Equinix CEO: 'Ecosystems' Our Secret Sauce
from http://news.investors.com:
>>IBD: Equinix recently acquired six data centers, including one being built in Shanghai as well as other assets in Hong Kong and Singapore, from Asia Tone for $230.5 million. Why pursue that deal?
Smith: The real driver was to get into Shanghai and eventually into Beijing. The Shanghai data center will be open in the second half of 2012.
This (China) is by far the No. 1 market that our current existing customers have interest in having Equinix capability.
IBD: Equinix gets about 20% of revenue from companies in the financial services sector. Is that a factor in expanding into China?
Smith: It's a mix of (telecom) network, financial and enterprise (corporate) customers. Big multinational companies want to have a footprint in the PRC (People's Republic of China).

>>Equinix is a datacenter specialist, which Laffont referred to as the "core" during a keynote presentation at the Ira Sohn conference. Data warehouses have become strategic and the company is considered "beachfront property," he added.

Google Can Survive Too Much Innovation. You Can't
from Forbes:
>>James White, CEO of the Jamba Juice chain of stores, and his team use a well-disciplined “stage gate” process to de-risk each idea, from conception through testing. An example is its steel-cut oatmeal, launched in January 2009. Jamba began working on the product back in 2007, wanting to improve the increasingly popular breakfast part of its menu. The company field-tested the oatmeal in its San Francisco Bay Area stores in September 2008, then in Chicago in December 2008, before launching it the next month. The product was perfect for Jamba’s strategy of capturing breakfast to make the most of its fixed overhead. With good market test results, management wasn’t surprised when the oatmeal became one of the most requested morning menu items and was named by Good Morning America as the best fast-food oatmeal product.

Greece Euro Exit: Free Will Or Fate, The European Way?
Read the whole article at Seeking Alpha:
>>In Greek mythology the Moirai were the goddesses of fate, who personified the inescapable destiny awaiting each human being.
Zeus, however, was the only god obeyed by the Moirai, as he had the power to change everyone's fortune. In other words, in the world of ancient Greece fate did not just happen, as the chief sky-deity could interfere and engineer a different destiny. For the better or for the worse…

Can Jamba Hold Out Against the Big Two?
from www.msnbc.msn.com:
>>I think if Jamba can execute that strategy well, it should be headed for better things. The main challenge for the company will be to be establish itself as a well-recognized brand -- the way people know a Starbucks or a McDonald's. It won't be a simple job, but it is something Jamba will have to do to remain competitive.
