Headquartered in Redwood City, California, Equinix operates data centers across all major US technology and business hubs, including Northern Virginia, Silicon Valley, New York/New Jersey, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, Seattle, Boston, Phoenix, Denver and Philadelphia. These facilities are strategically located in the country’s largest digital and business ecosystems, enabling direct interconnection to cloud providers, networks and enterprises.
Equinix has more than 70 data centers across the US, including both retail colocation facilities and xScale hyperscale campuses, and continually builds new facilities to meet growing demand. Its nationwide presence allows enterprises to scale digital infrastructure in every key metro while accessing the world’s most interconnected ecosystem of clouds, networks and partners.
Equinix’s US data center capacity currently spans well over 5 million square feet of data center space across both colocation and hyperscale facilities. Individual buildings vary in capacity. The SV11 data center in Silicon Valley, for example, has 120,000 square feet of colocation space, while DC16 in Ashburn, Virginia, has about 190,000 square feet. This Equinix data center footprint is constantly expanding, as the company continues building out more capacity across all the world’s key markets.
The US data center colocation market’s size is estimated to have been more than $20 billion in 2024, making it the largest single national colocation market in the world. Analysts project continued growth driven by AI workloads and continued cloud adoption and enterprise IT outsourcing, with the US maintaining its leadership as the hub for global colocation and hyperscale infrastructure.
Yes. Since 2022, Equinix has maintained 100% renewable energy coverage across its entire North American portfolio, including its US data centers, through power purchase agreements with renewable energy suppliers and renewable energy certificates. The company is expanding its clean-energy strategy with bold investments in new zero-carbon technologies and aims for 100% renewable coverage globally by 2030.
Equinix operates data centers and interconnection facilities in 36 countries, covering more than 70 major metro markets across North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. This global reach enables customers to deploy infrastructure close to end users and directly connect with AI, cloud, network and enterprise partners anywhere in the world.
Equinix is a global leader in data centers, colocation and interconnection services, operating highly connected facilities in the world’s largest metro hubs. By hosting infrastructure in these strategic locations, businesses gain low-latency access to cloud and AI providers, networks, SaaS platforms and enterprise partners, ensuring fast, reliable and secure digital experiences.
A data center is any facility that houses IT infrastructure, but colocation refers to a specific service where a commercial operator provides space, power, cooling and connectivity for customers’ equipment. Companies choose colocation over building their own data centers to scale and expand global reach, reduce costs, access specialized expertise and connect to a broader ecosystem of partners and providers.
Yes, Equinix operates AI-ready data centers designed to support the high power density and advanced cooling requirements of AI training and inference workloads. Customers use Equinix colocation sites in major metros for low-latency AI inference near end users, while xScale campuses provide large-scale capacity to power frontier model training.
AI chips require significantly more power than traditional processors, generating heat that conventional air cooling cannot effectively dissipate. Liquid cooling systems absorb and remove heat more efficiently, making them essential for hosting next-generation AI hardware in modern data centers.
