With an initial investment of <span class=\"xn-money\">US$144 million<\/span> in the first phase, the purpose-built facility will meet growing demand for cloud connectivity for enterprises as they transform digitally. SG5 is scheduled to open in H1 2021, providing an initial capacity of more than 1,300 cabinets in the first phase.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>As cloud adoption is accelerating and growing in complexity, businesses increasingly rely on hybrid and multicloud ecosystems for agility and scalability. This is aligned with <span class=\"xn-location\">Singapore&#8217;s<\/span> Smart Nation initiative, which is driving businesses in the country to rapidly undertake digital transformation to build resiliency and stay competitive in the digital economy. <span class=\"xn-location\">Singapore&#8217;s<\/span> advancement toward these goals is positioning the island city-state as a digital hub and gateway for the <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia-Pacific<\/span> region. With this in mind, the addition of the SG5 IBX to Platform Equinix will provide essential digital infrastructure support and global connectivity that will enable enterprises to build and expand their cloud ecosystems to fast-track their digital advantage. <\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Highlights \/ Key Facts: <\/b>\n      <\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>The first phase of SG5 will have a capacity of 1,300 cabinets and approximately 18,400 square feet (1,710 square meters) of colocation space. At full buildout, the facility is targeted to provide approximately 5,000 cabinets, with a total colocation space of close to 129,000 square feet (12,000 square meters). <\/li>\n<li>The new purpose-built, nine-story facility will be located at the Tanjong Kling data center park. This will strengthen Equinix&#8217;s cross-island presence and location diversity, with four of Equinix&#8217;s current IBX data centers strategically spread across the island. <\/li>\n<li>SG5 will be directly connected to the four existing Equinix IBX data centers in <span class=\"xn-location\">Singapore<\/span> via low-latency dark fiber links and will enable customers to securely interconnect with more than 705 companies in the market. Customers will be able to choose from a broad range of network services from over 200 providers, and interconnect directly to customers and partners in their digital supply chain. <\/li>\n<li>As a regional hub and a gateway for <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia-Pacific<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Singapore<\/span> serves as a key location to many multinational corporations in the region. To this end, Equinix has made significant investments into developing <span class=\"xn-location\">Singapore&#8217;s<\/span> digital infrastructure over the years, including an initial investment of <span class=\"xn-money\">US$85.3 million<\/span> into the establishment of the SG4 IBX, which opened this year. <\/li>\n<li>Demand for digital infrastructure continues to grow on a local and regional scale.
