Where can I find the specific financial numbers for Equinix's Q2 2010 results?

The specific financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, are provided in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) that is attached to this 8-K filing. This press release details the company's performance for the period.

Does this 8-K filing contain any forward-looking statements or new guidance?

This 8-K filing primarily serves to announce the company's past financial results for Q2 2010 and related conference call details. It does not explicitly mention any new forward-looking statements or guidance within the text of the 8-K itself, though such information may have been discussed on the accompanying conference call.

What is the significance of the non-GAAP financial information mentioned?

The filing indicates that Equinix released non-GAAP financial information. Non-GAAP measures exclude certain items that are included in GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) figures. A reconciliation to GAAP is provided in the attached press release, allowing investors to compare both measures and understand the adjustments made.

Why is this information 'furnished' and not 'filed'?

The information under Item 2.02 is designated as 'furnished' rather than 'filed'. This means it is being provided to the SEC for informational purposes, but it does not carry the same legal implications as 'filed' information. For instance, it is generally not subject to liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it automatically incorporated into registration statements unless expressly stated.
