It's not the first company to build such a marketplace. Telx also runs to help its clients connect with each other and buy and sell services.

The Equinix Marketplace is due to go live Monday. It lists services by type and by geography, or clients can also plug in their preferred providers, such as Verizon or British Telecom, and see where they operate. Along with network and managed hosting services, the marketplace lists cloud services such as video streaming and on-demand computing.
