Equinix, Inc. announced a USD 45 million investment in COLOMBIA for the construction of BG2, a new International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data center in Bogotá, scheduled to open in the first half of 2023. With this new facility, Equinix is reinforcing its commitment to strengthening the digital economy across LATIN AMERICA, with around 32,000 square feet (approximately 2,900 square meters) of colocation space—expected to be one of the large data centers in Colombia. BG2 will provide global and local businesses and partners alike with the ability to connect directly and securely to the world's digital economy, via comprehensive digital ecosystems. BG2 will be a data center, designed to deliver Secure Cabinets and Private Cage deployments.

The initial phase of BG2 will have a capacity for 550 cabinets, with space for additional cabinets in future phases. At full build, the facility will provide capacity for 1,100 cabinets. Equinix plans to expand a full range of interconnection and digital services to BG2 including Equinix Fabric®, Equinix Internet Exchange®, Equinix Internet Access and Equinix Precision Time®.

These solutions, currently available in BG1, enable customers in Colombia to connect in real time, directly and privately, to more than 10,000 companies, including more than 2,000 networks and approx. 3,000 cloud and IT service providers, through Platform Equinix® for increased performance, security and scale. Customers in BG2 will be able to easily and directly connect to BG1, which also allows low-latency routes to Equinix MI1 Miami IBX data center.
