Equinix opens Singapore SG6 data centre with 8 MW first phase
The new facility adds capacity for regional cloud and compute buyers; 20 MW is the full build-out target.
Equinix 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 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. 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.
