August 10 2010 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center
services, today announced that Voxel, a leader in highly scalable,
hybrid Internet infrastructure, has selected Equinix to support the
expansion of its VoxCLOUD service. Voxel deployed its new cloud
offering within Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®)
data centers due to the superior performance Equinix has provided
in the 10 years that Voxel has been a customer. With Equinix, Voxel
was able to quickly and efficiently build out its cloud platform,
enabling them to successfully tap into the growing market for cloud
services across eight strategic metropolitan areas: Chicago,
Dallas, Washington, D.C., New York, Silicon Valley, Amsterdam, Hong
Kong and Singapore.
Voxel turned to Equinix because its global service delivery
platform provides the unique combination of highly reliable data
center operations, rich carrier-neutral network connectivity, broad
architectural flexibility, and the on-demand global scale needed to
architect and deploy Voxel’s world-class offerings. More than 1,000
customers rely on Voxel to deliver Internet applications and
maintain their application infrastructure.
“The VoxCLOUD hybrid cloud is resonating really well with our
customers, and we need a data center platform capable of supporting
explosive growth,” said Raj Dutt, CEO, Voxel. “We couldn’t afford a
six to nine month lead time to turn up a location. What’s more,
dramatic differences from one market to the next can impede our
efforts to quickly go to market. But with Equinix, we were able to
leverage their comprehensive scale and readily deploy into three
markets on three continents in just three months.”
Voxel was able to quickly take advantage of Equinix’s global
service delivery platform, target key metropolitan areas, and
easily roll out their new cloud services. In addition to the
opportunity to scale their business as needed, Equinix provides
compounded market exposure for Voxel within the growing base of
Equinix customers, enabling low latency customer connectivity and
rapid partner integration to VoxCLOUD services. At the same time,
Equinix’s rich carrier-neutral connectivity affords Voxel the
opportunity to further optimize customer connectivity to VoxCLOUD
services while best managing underlying telecommunications costs
and ensuring a high quality customer experience. VoxCLOUD was
recently ranked as the #1 performing cloud in the United States for
network throughput by Cloudharmony.com.
“Voxel has been delivering services through Equinix for almost a
decade, and we’ve supported them as they’ve grown into one of the
leading high-performance infrastructure providers in the market,”
said Vincent DiMemmo, general manager,Global Cloud & IT
Services at Equinix. “We look forward to supporting Voxel through
this rapid, global expansion and the delivery of new and exciting
cloud services.”
