Brian Lillie, CIO of Equinix, is on the frontlines of data center building and operations. Equinix operates 100 facilities that serve as networking hubs for Equinix customers; one of their essential features is the carrier-neutral "meet me" rooms, where customer connect to one of many potential network providers. Lillie will talk the importance of network carrier choice and the other things that characterize the heart of the modern data center. One major decision is where to build it and Equinix chooses sites where urban crowding often interferes with ease of construction.
