The new GV2 International Business Exchange (IBX) data center is part of Equinix's continuing expansion strategy to meet growing demand for data center services and will be the company's second data center located in Geneva. The new project more than doubles the company's data center footprint in the region and is part of Equinix's $1.4 billion 2007-2010 expansion program for 15 out of the 18 markets in which it currently operates.
The data center will be built out in phases, with the first phase, scheduled to open in December 2009, adding 380 cabinets to Equinix's capacity in the Swiss market. It will have a total capacity for 760 cabinets at full build out. Further phases will open during 2010 and will be timed to reflect market demand. The GV2 center adds to its footprint in the country and follows on from Equinix's recently announced planned expansion in Zurich, with the addition of its ZH4 data center.
The GV2 center, which will be located west of the city center, will build upon the range of services hosted at Equinix's existing Geneva data center (GV1), which is a strategic location for telecom operators and internet access providers supplying Geneva-based corporations and banking organizations. In addition to providing a centralized aggregation point for these networks to operate, the GV2 center will offer colocation services and a variety of interconnection and peering services, including direct cross-connects between more than 30 networks. The GV2 center will also directly connect to Equinix's other Zurich and Geneva sites, making Equinix's entire range of services available to all customers operating in the region.
Equinix's GV1 center is located 4.5 kilometers away from GV2, and comprises 3,600 square meters (38,600 square feet) of gross data center space, providing carrier connectivity from the many network service providers located in this key market. This existing data center offers a full range of colocation, interconnection, support, and monitoring services and is certified ISO9001.2000.
"As our recent growth plans in Zurich have shown, Equinix is committed to increasing its operations in the Swiss market in order to meet growing local demand," said Eric Schwartz, president of Equinix in Europe. "Expanding in Geneva, a key financial market, is the next logical step for the company. With the addition of GV2 to its expanding data center footprint, Equinix continues to demonstrate its leadership within this market."
