New facility will meet strong demand from financial services firms, cloud, and content providers for Equinix's data center and interconnection.
Equinix, Inc. has announced the build of its newest Tokyo data center, TY5. The facility will meet strong demand from financial services firms, as well as cloud and content providers for data center and interconnection services in Tokyo.
"TY5 will be built in response to the various demands being driven by the digital economy across the cloud, mobile and financial services industries. As Tokyo is a major international finance center that houses some of the world's largest investment banks, trading platforms and insurance companies, it is important that we provide the necessary interconnection services to meet these increasing demands. The new TY5 data center will do just that, as customers will have direct access to Equinix's established financial ecosystem in TY3. Cloud, content and network providers will also have the opportunity to rapidly expand their business by connecting to TY5, meeting their customers' international and domestic connectivity needs," said Kei Furuta, managing director, Equinix Japan.
