In 1985, Dallas built something extraordinary — a mirrored glass palace for technology. The Infomart. Inspired by London’s Crystal Palace, it was imagined as a place where innovation could be bought, sold and shared. 40 years later, that vision is still alive. Inside those iconic walls, we’ve opened our new Equinix office, a space that honors the Infomart’s past while building the digital future. Some say everything’s bigger in Texas. We’d say smarter, too. Because where others built marketplaces for goods, we’re building one for possibilities.
