Equinix’s partner data centers in mainland China and Equinix data centers in Hong Kong meet global standards of security, compliance and operational excellence.
Simplify colocation in AI-ready Hong Kong data centers with advanced cooling, interconnection, secure cloud connectivity and disaster recovery solutions, all backed by 24x7 security, technical support and amenities like conference rooms, work kiosks and loaner tools.
Equinix operates its own data centers in Hong Kong, while its Shanghai data centers are operated through local partners. Both metros are important business and technology hubs. Shanghai hosts a concentration of onshore cloud, enterprise and regulated workloads, while Hong Kong serves as a major regional hub and a network gateway for international data traffic.
Equinix operates five data centers in Hong Kong and five, through local partners, in Shanghai. These facilities host densely interconnected tech and business ecosystems consisting of major cloud, AI, finance, media and other types of companies who do business there and need both onshore presence and regional and international connectivity.
Equinix provides a total of about 388,000 square feet (about 36,000 square meters) of colocation space across its five facilities in Hong Kong and 86,000 square feet (about 8,000 square meters) across five partner data centers in Shanghai. This capacity supports a robust interconnected ecosystem of clouds, AI companies, financial services and other industries exchanging data traffic and serving local customers.
The China colocation market size (including both mainland and Hong Kong) is estimated to have been about USD $7.6 billion (≈¥54 billion CNY) in 2024. China is one of the world’s largest colocation markets, driven by hyperscaler buildouts, AI infrastructure demand and rapid enterprise digital transformation.
Yes. Equinix’s global sustainability commitments are activated locally by teams in every region where we operate. In China, all sites are covered by 100% renewable energy.
Equinix operates data centers and interconnection facilities in 36 countries, covering more than 75 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.
