[Equinix](https://www.equinix.com/?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) has opened its SG6 data centre in Singapore. Its investor release says the first phase provides 8 MW of IT capacity, while its [Singapore release](https://newsroom.equinix.com/2026-11-06-Equinix-Opens-SG6-to-Support-Singapores-Digital-Future-and-Strengthen-Its-Role-as-a-Global-Innovation-Hub?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com) says Phase 1 will provide about 1,550 cabinets. The releases do not establish that all those cabinets are available now.

Equinix [announced the opening on 6 November](https://investor.equinix.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1130/equinix-opens-sg6-in-singapore-expanding-ai-ready-capacity?ref=southeastasiaconnect.com). SG6 is its sixth Singapore International Business Exchange data centre. The company says the facility supports high-density workloads with liquid-cooling capability and private interconnection, positioning it for customers planning AI and other data-intensive deployments.

Equinix puts full build-out at up to 20 MW of IT capacity, a future target beyond the opened first phase. The approximately US$290 million it cites is the project’s initial investment, not new spending announced with the opening.

SG6 expands Equinix’s Singapore footprint for regional cloud and compute deployments that need high-density infrastructure and private interconnection. The company says its Singapore operations connect to more than 17 subsea cable systems, a network-wide figure rather than an SG6-specific landing count. A planned co-innovation facility with the National University of Singapore is targeted for 2027 and is not part of today’s operating capacity.
