The NY4 center is Equinix's fourth New York area IBX center. The $95 million first phase of the center was opened in November 2007 and is now nearly fully booked, with strong traction from the financial services industry in the region. At full build-out, the NY4 center will be Equinix's largest in the U.S. to date at 340,000 square feet - the size of five football fields - with an annual revenue capacity of between $95 million and $110 million. It is directly linked to the three other New York area IBX centers through redundant dark fiber links managed by Equinix.
“The opening of this new phase of the NY4 center is representative of our commitment to ongoing and measured expansion to meet the needs of our customers,” said Steve Smith, president and CEO of Equinix. “In the New York area, we continue to see strong customer demand, especially from the financial services market, even in the face of a challenging economy.”
In the New York area, many of Equinix's financial services customers participate on the Equinix Financial eXchange, a community of financial market participants that locate mission-critical infrastructure within Equinix data centers to benefit from a high-performance, low latency connectivity within a network-neutral environment. At Equinix, these companies can directly exchange data within the same physical location with strategic partners, customers and vendors, thereby optimizing their electronic trading operations. They also have access to a broad range of data center services and high-performance network connectivity providers.
