Abstract:Equinix, a digital infrastructure company listed on the Nasdaq, has put $45 million into building its second data center in Colombia.
Equinix purchased data centers in Chile and Peru five months ago.
Since 2011, Equinix has invested over $2 billion in Latin America.
Equinix, a company that sells digital infrastructure and is listed on the Nasdaq, has put $45 million into building its second data center in Colombia.
Equinix said on Wednesday that the new data center for the international business exchange will open in the first half of 2023. It will be in Bogotá.
The investment in BG2 comes five months after the business bought data centers in Chile and Peru to expand its position in the Latin American area.
Equinix, which runs over 240 data centers in 71 regions, has said that it has spent more than $2 billion in Latin America since its first entrance in 2011.
Equinix said that with this new facility, Equinix is reiterating its commitment to growing the digital economy throughout Latin America, with roughly 32,000 square feet (about 2,900 square meters) of colocation space—each expected to be one of Colombia's biggest data centers.
The digital infrastructure company also said that BG2 would give businesses all over the world and in their own towns direct access to the global digital economy.
Equinix Americas President Tara Risser said that the company picked Colombia because it has the region's greatest economy and a rapidly developing IT industry.
“We think the nation is also well positioned to help enterprises wishing to develop inside LATAM while remaining closely linked to North America,” Risser added.
She also said that BG2 shows how committed Equinix is to giving its clients “the right venues, partners, and opportunities for their digital transformations today and in the future.”
Sustainability: Equinix gave more information about BG2 by saying that its innovative Cool Array technology would be used for the first time in the Americas at the data center.
According to the company, the goal here is to help Colombia become more sustainable. The company's Global Tech Trends Survey 2022 shows that sustainability is a top priority for Colombia's IT executives.
“This cooling technology is already in operation in many of our locations in EMEA and Asia-Pacific,” Equinix said. In terms of air volume provided per unit of energy utilized, it is quite efficient.
In addition, the Nasdaq-listed business said that BG2 would provide the same connectivity and digital capabilities as its BG1 data center.
It went on to say that these capabilities would allow Equinix's Colombian customers to interact in real-time, directly, and confidentially with over 10,000 businesses.
