Equinix, Inc. has announced that it will hold a ceremony to commemorate the ground breaking at its development site in San Jose, CA, Wednesday, June 16, 2016 at 12:30 PT. Located adjacent to its existing SV1 and SV5 International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers, the new site will be built on 11 acres of land purchased by Equinix and will augment the existing San Jose Great Oaks campus.
Equinix and Silicon Valley
Equinix data centers in the Silicon Valley area serve 600+ customers and represent the second largest Internet exchange point in North America. Equinix has invested approximately $275 million in the local economy with its existing SV1 and SV5 data centers, and the company will invest an additional $125 million in the development of the first phase of the SV10 IBX data center. These facilities house rich ecosystems that allow network and content providers, cloud and IT service providers, and enterprise customers to quickly and efficiently exchange critical business data with their customers and partners through interconnection.
