The ZH4 center, located in central Zurich, will build upon the rich network density of Equinix's ZH1 and ZH2 centers in Zurich, a market with strong demand for the interconnection of leading service provider networks, including carriers, ISPs, international PTT's and other broadband networks. In addition to providing a centralized aggregation point for these networks to operate, the ZH4 center will offer a variety of interconnection and peering services including direct cross-connects between networks, as well as the Equinix Exchange central switching fabric. In total, the facility will comprise 2,983 square meters (32,108 square foot) of gross space.
Equinix's three other Zurich centers are also located in central Zurich, comprising 1,146 square meters (12,335 square feet) of sellable data center space and providing excellent carrier connectivity from the many network service providers located in this strategic telecommunications crossroad for Europe. All three existing centers, which combined total 2,461 square meters (26,490 square foot) of gross space, are connected via redundant networks for resilient dual-site solutions, and all are certified ISO9001.2000.
“With its position as a strategic hub for network service providers and the financial services and media sectors, Zurich is an ideal market for Equinix's data center colocation and interconnection services,” said Eric Schwartz, president of Equinix in Europe. “By investing in the construction of this new center in a market that has seen few recent data center builds, and at a time when demand continues to outpace supply, Equinix is signaling its strong commitment to this market and to building upon its leadership in the region.”
The ZH4 center, expected to open in Q2 2010, will accommodate approximately 500 cabinet equivalents.
