Equinix operates International Business
Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers in
strategic metropolitan markets in North
America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. These
IBX centers serve as a reliable and secure
destination for the world’s most powerful
networks and companies. It’s what we do
every day—without compromise.
Equinix operates state of the art IBX
centers in the Chicago metro area and
offers a full range of premium colocation,
interconnection and support services
to a wide range of networks, enterprise,
content companies and financial
institutions.
In addition, Chicago is home to three
major financial and futures exchanges,
including the Chicago Stock Exchange,
the Chicago Board Options Exchange
(CBOE), and the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange (the “Merc”). Because of their
close proximity and partnerships with
Equinix, our Financial eXchange service
specializes in serving the unique needs
of the banking and trading communities
within the financial services sector. This
service allows large banks and trading
exchanges to link directly to their
“communities of interest”—key strategic
partners and suppliers such as brokers,
traders, clearinghouse merchants, data
feed suppliers and proprietary software
vendors.
