Equinix Financial eXchange to Showcase at JWGITs Frankfurtbased THE FORUM



Equinix Inc. (www.eu.equinix.com) (Nasdaq: EQIX), the leading global provider of network-neutral datacentres and Internet exchange services, will showcase its network of Equinix Financial eXchange community offering at JWG-IT's 'THE FORUM' event at the Le Mridien Parkhotel in Frankfurt on 16 June 2008.

'THE FORUM' will focus on clarifying the agenda for EU principles-based regulation in the post-MiFID environment, and its conference agenda aims to discuss what buy-side and sell-side organisations need to do to ensure they are still in a winning position five years after the passage of MiFID. This is the second in a series of pan-European industry conferences, with further events to follow in Paris, Madrid and Milan.

Equinix (www.eu.equinix.com) will platform its network of global Equinix Financial eXchange communities at the event - which now include Frankfurt, London and Paris in Europe as well as Chicago and New York in the United States.
