Platform Equinix Expands Capacity in Brazil

Equinix, Inc.

today announced that ALOG Data Centers of Brazil S.A., a Platform Equinix Company, has opened its third International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center in Brazil. Located in Tamboré, the new data center (SP2) is ALOG's second facility in the São Paulo metropolitan area—ALOG also operates a data center in Rio de Janeiro. Today's opening is the first phase of the build-out of SP2 and provides approximately 400 cabinet equivalents, with the ability to expand by as much as 1,200 cabinet equivalents. ALOG is one of the leading carrier-neutral data center providers in Brazil and serves approximately 1,000 local and international customers. Equinix and Riverwood Capital completed the acquisition of ALOG in April 2011, extending Platform Equinix™ to the South America market. With the addition of SP2, Platform Equinix now includes 96 data centers across 37 global markets. Sidney Breyer, CEO of ALOG, said, “The addition of our new Tamboré site will allow us to support our customers' growth and meet strong demand for our carrier-neutral data center services. Becoming part of Platform Equinix has increased that demand as Brazilian companies look to expand into new regions and multinational companies are eager to establish or expand their presence in Brazil's rapidly growing economy.”
