They nudged full year guidance for both revenues and ebitda a bit higher, while Q2 guidance for revenue of $594-598 million was also above the composite analyst estimate of $588 million.

Equinix has been consistently busy expanding on multiple fronts for many years now. At the moment, lots of the new space they have under construction is in APAC, while not all that much is going on in the US. Here though it is ecosystem development they are investing resources in, with the recent Cloud Exchange announcement being the latest example.
