00:00:03.521 --> 00:00:06.291
you have to remember that when equinix was started

00:00:06.291 --> 00:00:09.182
there really, wasn't anything like us

00:00:09.252 --> 00:00:11.310
there were no fancy data centers yet

00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.905
there were no real, even e-commerce sites

00:00:14.935 --> 00:00:16.960
of the size that we talked about today

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:18.783
there were problems with congestion

00:00:18.783 --> 00:00:20.955
or wasn't commercialized and

00:00:20.955 --> 00:00:22.895
for those of us who cared

00:00:22.985 --> 00:00:25.275
we knew that, a company like Equinix

00:00:25.385 --> 00:00:27.860
would need to exist. Somebody would have to be

00:00:27.860 --> 00:00:30.106
the steward of all this infrastructure

00:00:32.226 --> 00:00:34.556
even when we were just starting out

00:00:34.586 --> 00:00:36.506
we knew something that the people creating

00:00:36.506 --> 00:00:38.735
the internet didn't know, and that was

00:00:38.735 --> 00:00:41.675
that digital business could never really take off

00:00:41.675 --> 00:00:44.235
without a global platform for interconnection

00:00:44.235 --> 00:00:46.285
in the beginning, we brought together

00:00:46.285 --> 00:00:48.801
the networks that created the internet

00:00:48.801 --> 00:00:52.401
today, we directly connect companies with the employees


00:00:52.401 --> 00:00:55.846
customers and partners, they need to succeed


00:00:55.846 --> 00:00:58.356
anywhere in the world. You simply

00:00:58.356 --> 00:01:00.939
cannot compete as a digital business today


00:01:00.939 --> 00:01:03.859
without the enterprise strengthen interconnection

00:01:03.859 --> 00:01:06.570
we deliver in our datacenters

00:01:06.570 --> 00:01:09.062
in just under two decades

00:01:09.062 --> 00:01:11.020
we've expanded all over the world

00:01:11.020 --> 00:01:13.157
we've attracted thousands of the world's


00:01:13.157 --> 00:01:15.699
leading businesses to our data centers


00:01:15.699 --> 00:01:18.899
market leaders like Amazon and Microsoft


00:01:18.905 --> 00:01:21.325
the're with us, and if you want to connect to them

00:01:21.727 --> 00:01:23.800
or connect to a new partner or customer

00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:26.020
likely the're with us too

00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.910
We are not done. We're going to keep expanding

00:01:29.235 --> 00:01:31.729
because the worldwide need for interconnection


00:01:31.729 --> 00:01:33.899
is growing. Interconnexion is

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:36.639
driving the digital economy. There's a

00:01:36.679 --> 00:01:39.653
reason the world's most recognized brands

00:01:39.653 --> 00:01:42.013
rely on us, to help them succeed

00:01:42.113 --> 00:01:45.273
and that's our unmatched interconnexion


00:01:45.293 --> 00:01:47.723
leadership. Whether a customer is


00:01:47.803 --> 00:01:50.295
building a history-making product

00:01:50.295 --> 00:01:53.425
blazing an industry-first business model

00:01:53.425 --> 00:01:56.737
or pioneering a new way to collaborate globally

00:01:56.737 --> 00:02:00.427
nobody else, has the global reach


00:02:00.427 --> 00:02:02.311
the rich ecosystems and the

00:02:02.311 --> 00:02:04.551
awesome service excellence today's


00:02:04.551 --> 00:02:07.191
enterprises need to compete and win like


00:02:07.191 --> 00:02:09.661
equinix does. Nobody.

00:02:09.681 --> 00:02:13.668
it's more than the digital technology 
connections that our customers

00:02:13.668 --> 00:02:16.145
need to do business. We invest deeply


00:02:16.145 --> 00:02:18.535
in making personal connections


00:02:18.575 --> 00:02:20.915
between customers and partners and that


00:02:20.965 --> 00:02:23.525
helps accelerate their businesses

00:02:23.525 --> 00:02:25.535
and those types of connections are just

00:02:25.535 --> 00:02:28.570
as essential. When we bring people together

00:02:28.600 --> 00:02:31.530
ideas happen, innovation happens

00:02:31.530 --> 00:02:34.050
that might not happen otherwise and that

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.250
is incredibly powerful.

00:02:36.250 --> 00:02:38.170
An important part of our growth and success

00:02:38.300 --> 00:02:40.720
throughout our journey and in my opinion


00:02:40.780 --> 00:02:42.950
the secret ingredient, is our talented

00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:45.400
and dedicated people. Around the world

00:02:45.530 --> 00:02:47.590
our employees create and live our

00:02:47.710 --> 00:02:50.290
amazing culture every day. We are proud

00:02:50.290 --> 00:02:52.270
of the magic of Equinix and we

00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:54.270
believe it is at the core of our endurance

00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.550
success. We work hard, we have fun

00:02:56.600 --> 00:02:58.740
together, we make a difference

00:02:58.810 --> 00:03:01.000
in our communities and we value team spirit

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:02.940
Equinix is an amazing story

00:03:02.940 --> 00:03:05.170
inside and out.

00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:08.335
What we're doing collectively in our industry

00:03:08.345 --> 00:03:11.350
is extremely important. Yet I'm convinced

00:03:11.350 --> 00:03:13.220
Equinix will be remembered in the

00:03:13.220 --> 00:03:15.650
history books for our people, our

00:03:15.650 --> 00:03:17.990
performance and how we

00:03:17.990 --> 00:03:20.450
interconnected the world
