Equinix loves the flash interior decorating but it doesn't do anything for your uptime or latency. Datacenters really aren't that interesting, maybe the "meet me room" have some neat looking network gear but by and large DC are visually monotonous. Question - aside from having a high concentration of wall street firms colocated there what is interesting about this? What innovations are they making?

The funny thing about all the security - the man traps, the palm reader, the alarms systems there is still usually some security guard at the front desk who is often napping. Not that I blame them but its kind of laughable.
