Equinix, Inc. has launched a new $142 million International Business Exchange (IBX) data center located at its Great Oaks campus in San Jose, in California’s Silicon Valley.
Known as SV11, the facility is expected to open June 30, 2021, and will support the increasing demand from organizations for premium data center services, according to Equinix.
The campus is expected to have 20 megawatts of capacity, and it will be the first time Equinix will use the system as primary generation, with utility electrical grid and generators as backup sources.
Silicon Valley represents the third-largest colocation metro in the Americas region and ninth globally. With the addition of SV11, Equinix has invested more than $1.25 billion in the local economy, including its Great Oaks campus.
“The multi-tenant data center industry in Northern California has continued to see steady demand over the past several years, and this growth will be ongoing for the near future,”
