Frequently asked questions
Where is Equinix in Korea?

Equinix operates data centers in Seoul, the country’s primary business and interconnection hub. Seoul enables Korea’s key role in Northeast Asia, connecting enterprises to major clouds, subsea cable systems and dense ecosystems of finance, gaming, media and AI.

How many data centers does Equinix have in Korea?

Equinix operates three data centers in Korea, all located in Seoul. These facilities provide direct access to cloud on-ramps, carrier-neutral interconnection and high-density digital ecosystems for enterprises modernizing their digital infrastructure or establishing presence in the country.

What is the capacity of Equinix’s data centers in Korea?

Equinix’s Korea facilities offer about 67,000 square feet (6,000 square meters) of colocation space. Our two retail colocation data centers’ combined IT power capacity is 6.5MW, and our hyperscale SL2x xScale data center supports 20MW. This scalable capacity supports high-performance, low-latency infrastructure for enterprises, cloud providers and AI workloads across Korea and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

How big is the Korea data center colocation market?

The Korea colocation market size is estimated to have been about USD $830 million (1.16 billion South Korean won) in 2024. With hyperscaler regions, world-class network performance and strong data-protection rules, Korea is becoming a strategic AI, cloud and interconnection hub for Asia Pacific.

Does Equinix provide renewable energy in Korea?

Yes. Equinix’s global sustainability commitments are activated locally by teams in every region where we operate. In Korea, all sites are covered by 100% renewable energy.

How many countries does Equinix operate in?

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.

What does Equinix do?

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.

What’s the difference between a data center and colocation, and what’s colocation anyway?

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.

Does Equinix operate AI data centers?

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.

Why is liquid cooling important for AI deployments?

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.
