Equinix is the world’s digital infrastructure company. We interconnect industry-leading organisations such as finance, manufacturing, retail, transportation, government, healthcare and education across a digital-first world. Business leaders harness our trusted global platform to bring together and interconnect the foundational infrastructure that powers their success – sustainably and securely.

Founded in Silicon Valley in 1998 as a vendor-neutral multitenant data centre provider where leading networks come together to securely connect networks and share data traffic, we chose a name that reflected the company’s focus on EQUality, Neutrality and Internet eXchange: Equinix.

Equinix entered the African market in 2022 with the acquisition of MainOne and in this year we are celebrating the opening of our first state-of-the-art International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center, JN1, in Johannesburg.
