A “co-location” center is a data center that leases out networking and compute infrastructure to retail clients. Co-location centers host clients with a wide variety of infrastructure strategies, from small retail customers, to medium-size teams running hybrid cloud models, to large corporate clients who prefer not to incur the capital cost of building their own data center. While Equinix is already a market leader in co-location centers, they have expanded to provide a wide variety of services for their clients, including managed IaaS, disaster recovery, and integrations with cloud providers such as AWS and Google Cloud.
