Network Service Providers Helping Network Service Providers Connect to Revenue

The former Switch and Data, now Equinix has provided an efficient place for network service providers to meet since the beginning of the commercial Internet. Our PAIX® Internet exchange was established in 1994 as the world's first commercial peering point for IP traffic. Today we operate some of the world's most densely interconnected sites and leading Internet exchanges. This makes our 87 global sites the right places for network service providers to connect to customers, partners and new sources of revenue.



Switch and Data is committed to serving the network service providers industry and provides carrier friendly services like Meet Me Rooms, DC Power, network timing, and fast, accurate remote implementation for your cross connects in every site.

Whether you are a transit service provider looking to grow revenue by finding new commercial customers, an international broadband network provider expanding its presence or establishing peering in North America, or a consumer programming network seeking to reach viewers across the nation, Switch and Data has the right power, connections, locations, and technical and customer support to help your business succeed.

Here are some of the ways the former Switch and Data, now Equinix helps network service providers solve their business challenges:
