Business Wire
Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), a provider of global data center
services, today announced it has opened its third International
Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center in Paris, France. The PA3 IBX
data center was built in response to the growing demand for premium
colocation and interconnection services in the city. Doubling
Equinix’s capacity at the Saint-Denis campus, also home to its PA2
IBX data center, PA3 is Equinix’s largest IBX data center in Paris.
The recent expansion is part of Equinix’s $2.0 billion investment
to grow global operations between 2007 and 2010.
Conveniently located 15 minutes north of Paris, the new high
specification PA3 IBX data center offers redundant fiber links that
directly connect the PA3 IBX data center with the existing PA2 IBX
data center located at the Saint-Denis site. The data center
provides a full range of colocation, interconnection and support
services where 49 customers have deployed infrastructure. Equinix
IBX data centers also enable business ecosystems where customers
can directly connect to strategic partners, optimizing the delivery
of their content and critical applications.
When fully built out, the PA3 IBX data center will have 116,230
square feet of available gross space (10,800 gross square
meters).
“Through our ongoing strategy of disciplined expansion, Equinix
has reinforced its position as a global leader in the data center
market with the latest expansion of its footprint in Paris,” said
Michel Brignano, French General Manager, Equinix. “As demand for
our services in this important metro remains strong, the PA3 IBX
data center provides important growth capacity and additional space
for further expansions, placing us in an excellent position to
respond quickly to the needs of the market and support our
customers as they expand.”
PA3 is the third in a series of recently announced IBX data
center openings, joining the recently opened GV2 IBX data center in
Geneva, Switzerland, and the LD5 IBX data center in London,
England. The company has also announced plans to open a fourth IBX
data center in Zurich, Switzerland, which is expected to open in Q2
2010.
