According to the company, the first phase of the new London center (LD5) is expected to open in the first quarter of 2010. The initial phase of the Singapore center (SG2) is expected to open in the third quarter of 2009.
The company said that the first phase of the LD5 center will accommodate approximately 1,400 cabinet equivalents, and, at full build out, the center will have a total capacity of approximately 5,500 to 6,000 cabinet equivalents. The first phase of the SG2 center will accommodate approximately 700 cabinets, and, at full build out, the center will have a total capacity of approximately 1,700 cabinets.
Steve Smith, president and CEO of Equinix, said: In London and Singapore, we continue to experience strong growth and anticipate that we will soon reach capacity in these existing centers. These new centers will provide the company with a long-term solution to meet the demand in these markets, as we pursue our flexible expansion model that enables us to build out a property in multiple phases over time.
