1
00:00:03,521 --> 00:00:06,291
you have to remember that when equinix was started

2
00:00:06,291 --> 00:00:09,182
there really, wasn't anything like us

3
00:00:09,252 --> 00:00:11,310
there were no fancy data centers yet

4
00:00:11,310 --> 00:00:14,905
there were no real, even e-commerce sites

5
00:00:14,935 --> 00:00:16,960
of the size that we talked about today

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:18,783
there were problems with congestion

7
00:00:18,783 --> 00:00:20,955
or wasn't commercialized and

8
00:00:20,955 --> 00:00:22,895
for those of us who cared

9
00:00:22,985 --> 00:00:25,275
we knew that, a company like Equinix

10
00:00:25,385 --> 00:00:27,860
would need to exist. Somebody would have to be

11
00:00:27,860 --> 00:00:30,106
the steward of all this infrastructure

12
00:00:32,226 --> 00:00:34,556
even when we were just starting out

13
00:00:34,586 --> 00:00:36,506
we knew something that the people creating

14
00:00:36,506 --> 00:00:38,735
the internet didn't know, and that was

15
00:00:38,735 --> 00:00:41,675
that digital business could never really take off

16
00:00:41,675 --> 00:00:44,235
without a global platform for interconnection

17
00:00:44,235 --> 00:00:46,285
in the beginning, we brought together

18
00:00:46,285 --> 00:00:48,801
the networks that created the internet

19
00:00:48,801 --> 00:00:52,401
today, we directly connect companies with the employees


20
00:00:52,401 --> 00:00:55,846
customers and partners, they need to succeed


21
00:00:55,846 --> 00:00:58,356
anywhere in the world. You simply

22
00:00:58,356 --> 00:01:00,939
cannot compete as a digital business today


23
00:01:00,939 --> 00:01:03,859
without the enterprise strengthen interconnection

24
00:01:03,859 --> 00:01:06,570
we deliver in our datacenters

25
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:09,062
in just under two decades

26
00:01:09,062 --> 00:01:11,020
we've expanded all over the world

27
00:01:11,020 --> 00:01:13,157
we've attracted thousands of the world's


28
00:01:13,157 --> 00:01:15,699
leading businesses to our data centers


29
00:01:15,699 --> 00:01:18,899
market leaders like Amazon and Microsoft


30
00:01:18,905 --> 00:01:21,325
the're with us, and if you want to connect to them

31
00:01:21,727 --> 00:01:23,800
or connect to a new partner or customer

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,020
likely the're with us too

33
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,910
We are not done. We're going to keep expanding

34
00:01:29,235 --> 00:01:31,729
because the worldwide need for interconnection


35
00:01:31,729 --> 00:01:33,899
is growing. Interconnexion is

36
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:36,639
driving the digital economy. There's a

37
00:01:36,679 --> 00:01:39,653
reason the world's most recognized brands

38
00:01:39,653 --> 00:01:42,013
rely on us, to help them succeed

39
00:01:42,113 --> 00:01:45,273
and that's our unmatched interconnexion


40
00:01:45,293 --> 00:01:47,723
leadership. Whether a customer is


41
00:01:47,803 --> 00:01:50,295
building a history-making product

42
00:01:50,295 --> 00:01:53,425
blazing an industry-first business model

43
00:01:53,425 --> 00:01:56,737
or pioneering a new way to collaborate globally

44
00:01:56,737 --> 00:02:00,427
nobody else, has the global reach


45
00:02:00,427 --> 00:02:02,311
the rich ecosystems and the

46
00:02:02,311 --> 00:02:04,551
awesome service excellence today's


47
00:02:04,551 --> 00:02:07,191
enterprises need to compete and win like


48
00:02:07,191 --> 00:02:09,661
equinix does. Nobody.

49
00:02:09,681 --> 00:02:13,668
it's more than the digital technology 
connections that our customers

50
00:02:13,668 --> 00:02:16,145
need to do business. We invest deeply


51
00:02:16,145 --> 00:02:18,535
in making personal connections


52
00:02:18,575 --> 00:02:20,915
between customers and partners and that


53
00:02:20,965 --> 00:02:23,525
helps accelerate their businesses

54
00:02:23,525 --> 00:02:25,535
and those types of connections are just

55
00:02:25,535 --> 00:02:28,570
as essential. When we bring people together

56
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,530
ideas happen, innovation happens

57
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:34,050
that might not happen otherwise and that

58
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,250
is incredibly powerful.

59
00:02:36,250 --> 00:02:38,170
An important part of our growth and success

60
00:02:38,300 --> 00:02:40,720
throughout our journey and in my opinion


61
00:02:40,780 --> 00:02:42,950
the secret ingredient, is our talented

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,400
and dedicated people. Around the world

63
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:47,590
our employees create and live our

64
00:02:47,710 --> 00:02:50,290
amazing culture every day. We are proud

65
00:02:50,290 --> 00:02:52,270
of the magic of Equinix and we

66
00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:54,270
believe it is at the core of our endurance

67
00:02:54,270 --> 00:02:56,550
success. We work hard, we have fun

68
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,740
together, we make a difference

69
00:02:58,810 --> 00:03:01,000
in our communities and we value team spirit

70
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,940
Equinix is an amazing story

71
00:03:02,940 --> 00:03:05,170
inside and out.

72
00:03:06,650 --> 00:03:08,335
What we're doing collectively in our industry

73
00:03:08,345 --> 00:03:11,350
is extremely important. Yet I'm convinced

74
00:03:11,350 --> 00:03:13,220
Equinix will be remembered in the

75
00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:15,650
history books for our people, our

76
00:03:15,650 --> 00:03:17,990
performance and how we

77
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:20,450
interconnected the world
