Often, if the alternatives are real. Upload the renewal notice and we'll get competing bids before your notice deadline; the incumbent can match them or you can move. Renewal counter-quotes.
Make Equinix compete
Send your spec or your Equinix renewal notice. Equinix and the facilities around it bid blind on the same 36-month basis.
- Blind until you pick: facilities never see your name, email, company or files.
- Every bid on one basis: rent, power model, cross-connects, escalators and SLA credit caps.
- You sign direct with the facility. Participating providers pay our desk a placement commission when a buyer we introduce signs. It never changes their price or how we rank them.
