On February 11, 2009, Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.  Equinix released certain non-GAAP information in the press release and attached to the press release is a reconciliation to the non-GAAP information.

On February 11, 2009, in connection with the issuance of the press release, Equinix will hold a conference call to discuss the press release.

Item 8.01.     Other Events.

In December 2004, in light of the availability of fully built-out data centers in select markets at costs significantly below those costs Equinix would incur in building out new space, Equinix made the decision to exit leases for excess space adjacent to one of Equinix's New York metro area IBX centers, as well as space on the floor above its original Los Angeles IBX center.  As a result of Equinix's decision to exit these spaces, Equinix recorded restructuring charges totaling $17.7 million which represented the present value of Equinix's estimated future cash payments, net of estimated subrental income and expense, through the remainder of these lease terms, as well as the write-off of all remaining property, plant and equipment attributed to the partial build-out of the excess space on the floor above its Los Angeles IBX center.  During the past several years, Equinix has periodically adjusted the initial $17.7 million restructuring charge for these two excess space leases as a result of revised sublease and other assumptions as new information became available.

In February 2009, due to changing market conditions, Equinix has decided to expand its Los Angeles IBX center into such excess space and will thus reverse a portion of the previously incurred restructuring charge. Equinix estimates that this restructuring charge reversal is approximately $5.7 million, which will be reflected in Equinix's financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  Equinix's excess space lease in the New York metro area will remain under a restructuring charge.
