Equinix Opens First Data Center in Osaka, Japan

Equinix

today announced the opening of its International Business Exchange data center in Osaka, called OS1 — its first in the western region of Japan. The OS1 data center was opened in partnership with K-Opticom, one of the largest access providers in the Osaka/Kansai area, and Kanden Energy Solutions (KENES) with support from O-BIC, an Osaka government agency that supports foreign-owned companies establishing businesses in the region. With the opening of Equinix's carrier-neutral data center, global companies can easily expand their businesses to Osaka, the second largest market in Japan.
