The $43 million facility is tailor-made to provide financial services firms, cloud and content providers with data center and interconnection services.
Equinix, Inc. has announced the opening of its latest International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center in the Japanese capital, Tokyo, known as TY5. The new $43 million facility will support strong demand from local and global enterprises including financial services firms, as well as cloud and content providers who are increasingly relying on data center colocation and interconnection services in Tokyo.
Earlier this month Equinix announced that it will open four new IBX data centers in Dallas, São Paulo, Sydney and Tokyo, to create more capacity for global companies to connect to their partners, customers and employees. These organic additions with the recent acquisition of Bit-isle in Japan and Telecity in EMEA will expand Equinix's global interconnection platform to nearly 150 data centers by the end of the year. By providing additional capacity in the coming year, Equinix continues to play a central role in advancing the digital economy's interconnected era, in which businesses are demanding increasing levels of interconnection to accelerate business performance.
