Reliability and Access to Aggregation of Networks at Equinix Help Meebo
Provide a Reliable and High Quality End-User Experience
Foster City, CA June 25, 2008 Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the
leading global provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange
services, announced today that Meebo, the Webs live communications platform,
has established operations at one of Equinixs Internet Business Exchange™ (IBX®)
centers in the Silicon Valley. The move has enabled Meebo to enhance the
delivery of its services globally by operating within a fully redundant,
high-performance data center that offers direct access to a large aggregation of
networks that link to their users.
Meebo provides instant messaging and group chat to over 35 million people at
Meebo.com and partner sites across the Web. The average person at Meebo.com
spends over two hours on the site per day, and Meebo handles conversations
consisting of over 5 billion messages per month. In order to provide the best
end-user experience for its low-latency applications, Meebo is leveraging
Equinixs industry-leading data center environment that provides a secure and
redundant physical platform for IT operations. Power operations of the center
include a high-performance backup system that provides uninterrupted power even
in the event of utility power disruption. The center is also designed to
accommodate the cooling and power needs of the latest generation of High Power
Density (HPD) equipment. In addition, Equinixs Silicon Valley center enables
Meebo to operate on a flexible platform for expansion as their business grows.
In addition to the physical infrastructure of the center, Equinix provides Meebo
with a network-rich environment with direct access to the more than 250
Internet-based customers, which include online businesses, carriers, ISPs and
network service providers, enabling Meebo to implement a robust,
high-performance multi-network connectivity infrastructure. By directly
interconnecting with this aggregation of companies in a single location, rather
than connecting to them in multiple, disparate locations and over long
distances, Meebo will be able to reduce bottlenecks in the path between its
services and its end-users, providing improved performance levels.
As Meebo continues to grow, we need a data center that can meet our
ever-growing demands to scale, said Sandy Jen, co-founder and vice president of
engineering of Meebo. Equinix is a great partner and ensures that our users all
around the world experience great reliability and uptime from Meebo.
Meebos platform is another example of an innovative solution that harnesses
live interactive technology to enhance communications, said Margie Backaus,
chief business officer of Equinix. At Equinix, Meebo can operate within a
high-reliability environment that ensures the most streamlined delivery of these
services to end-users.
