Equinix Company creates trading market for data center users

According to IDG News: Equinix has created a http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18749.html "> online market for its data center users, making it easy for their users to make deals in cyberspace, Managed and other services in the management of user transactions.

This is a new model for Equinix, perhaps a new model for the industry as a whole. This market model makes it easy for its users to know what services are being provided by the data centers that are running.

"Through the market, users can look for other users who are already in the data center and are close to each other," Equinix chief marketing officer Jarrett Appleby said. As a result, users can easily connect with partners and speed up service transactions between each other. ”

Equinix operates 99 data centers, about half of the data centers in North America, and is known to have more than 4,000 users in this half of the data centers. These users have already traded with each other, most of which are Web services, but the flaw in the market is that users are not easily able to find all the options available.

Appleby said: "We allow users to build digital stores and indicate ' This is the service I can offer you in the data center. ' ’”

The Equinix company itself also profited from the market. The reason is that if its users realize that services are easy to sell in the data center market, their users will post more services in the data center. On the other hand, Equinix can collect the network connection fee from the transaction between the users, if the user transactions frequently, then Equinix will gain more profits.
