The expansion is the latest in a series of industry announcements reflecting resurgent interest in data center services, including expansions by IBM and Qwest.
"We are seeing a tremendous amount of customer demand for our Internet hubs and exchange services in the Washington D.C. market," said Peter Van Camp, CEO of Equinix. "With our existing D.C. center approaching 60 percent utilization, this new expansion gives us additional capacity to take advantage of this momentum with minimal capital investment."
Equinix intends to begin placing customers in the center by November 1. The Foster City, Calif. provider said it will invest approximately $5.0 million to make additional infrastructure enhancements to the new space.
In addition to its expanded Washington D.C. area facility, Equinix also operates IBX centers in the New York, Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Honolulu, Singapore, Sydney, Hong Kong and Tokyo areas. Today's announcement expands Equinix's global footprint to more than 1.3 million square feet in five countries.
