Equinix Builds New Data Center in Zurich; Expands Geneva Facility

Equinix, Inc.

today announced plans to build a fifth International Business Exchange data center in Zurich and expand GV2, one of its Geneva-based data centers. The investments are in response to sustained customer growth and increasing demand for network-dense, secure data centers in Switzerland. The expansion capital required for these projects is already reflected in the company's 2012 guidance. ZH5, located 6.5 km from Zurich city center, is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2012 and will provide approximately 420 cabinet equivalents. When completed, the site will provide approximately 6,670 square meters of customer floor space and will be built to Gold LEED standards. The site will be integrated with Equinix's Zurich campus, via fiber ring, offering direct connectivity to more than 75 carriers.
