New York, NY - April 4, 2005 - Equinix, Inc.

Experience While Reducing Costs," will feature interactive educational sessions from industry experts on methodologies for building network architectures by implementing multi-network connectivity.  The forum will
address how gaining network independence can improve uptime, security, DDoS mitigation and performance.

The forum is the next event in an ongoing series of forums developed by Equinix that have included the "Gigabit Peering Forum" and "Multihoming
Seminar" events.  Previous Equinix events have drawn hundreds of participants from leading network service providers and content companies such as Google, Qwest, SBC, Verio and Yahoo!

Content and e-commerce companies have traditionally paid for onnectivity to reach their end users.  Through a variety of Equinix's interconnection
services, these companies can directly reach their end-users while eliminating network costs and improving performance.

Similarly, as the costs for unexpected network downtime continue to grow for enterprises, content providers and e-commerce companies, many of these companies are establishing relationships with multiple network service providers, or "multihoming," to ensure the redundancy needed in the event of a failure to a primary provider.  In addition to the operational redundancy and business continuity benefits, multihoming also increases overall IP performance.

The Building a Better Network Forum will take place on Thursday, April 21st, 2005 in New York City at the Hotel Gansevoort beginning with breakfast at 8:30 a.m.  Interested parties must register by April 14th by emailing etroyer@equinix.com.
