“We express our sincere sympathy to the victims of the earthquake in northeastern Japan. We can confirm that there is no damage or operational impact to our two data centers in Tokyo,” said Steve Smith, President and CEO of Equinix.
“We have concerns about the power supply from Tokyo Electric Power Company. We have fueled the generators at our Tokyo data centers to their full capacity, which will provide emergency backup power in the event of any power disruption. We can keep our Tokyo data centers up and running as normal,” said Kei Furuta, managing director, Equinix Japan. “Our local operations team in Japan and our Asia Pacific Network Operations Center (APNOC) have been closely monitoring the situation and will continue to provide services to our customers. They are available 24x7 to our customers to provide the latest information and assistance.”
