📅 - Equinix Adds $50M for Data Center Workforce Programs - Equinix is committing another $50 million to its corporate foundation, doubling the data center operator's total funding since the nonprofit launched in 2022. The money will support internet access, digital skills and technical workforce programs across global markets, as Equinix tries to address a growing tension: infrastructure expansion is outpacing the communities and labor pipelines around it.
The commitment is philanthropic, not data center capex. Still, it lands close to a commercial problem for Equinix and the broader infrastructure sector. Operators are building facilities that require electricians, critical facilities technicians, network specialists and operations staff in [...]
📅 - Global Colocation Capacity Seen Tripling to 213GW by 2031 - Structure Research estimates global colocation capacity will more than triple from 63.8GW in 2026 to 213.1GW by 2031, while sector revenue rises from $151.9 billion to $458.7 billion. Its new market ranking also shows a less orderly industry underneath that expansion, as AI demand, hyperscale self-build, power shortages and connectivity increasingly separate scale from maturity across markets.
The projections, contained in Structure Research's 2026 Global Data Centre Colocation & Interconnection Report, suggest an industry adding roughly 149GW of operational critical IT capacity within five years. That is an enormous amount of infrastructure. It also risks obscuring how unevenly the [...]
📅 - Equinix Expands Security Portfolio With Netskope Zero Trust - Equinix has added Netskope Private Access to its Network Edge marketplace, letting enterprises deploy the zero trust access service as a virtual network function close to existing interconnection points. The integration targets companies trying to reduce VPN appliances and traffic detours, although it also gives network teams another software dependency to operate across complicated hybrid infrastructure estates.
The service was made generally available with Equinix Network Edge release 2026.7 on July 15, although Equinix highlighted the availability again in an August 19 community update. Netskope Private Access can now be deployed alongside other virtual routers, firewalls and network [...]
📅 - Equinix Signs Fourth Singapore Solar PPA With Flo Energy - Equinix has signed its fourth renewable power agreement in Singapore in two years, securing at least 11.5 MWp of rooftop solar capacity from Flo Energy with an option to expand to 50 MWp. The deal deepens Equinix's local renewable supply as Singapore's data center market confronts tight land, grid capacity, and rising electricity demand from AI infrastructure.
For Equinix, the agreement is less about one solar contract than the problem of expanding digital infrastructure in a city state where power has become a strategic constraint. The company expects its Singapore renewable energy portfolio to reach 215 MWp by 2028, with its agreements collectively generating about 250,000 MWh [...]
📅 - Equinix Reports Record Bookings and Higher AI Infrastructure Demand - Global data center colocation and interconnection firm Equinix delivered stronger-than-expected second-quarter growth, lifted its financial guidance for 2026 and raised long-term targets through 2029 as enterprise demand for AI, cloud connectivity and digital infrastructure continued accelerating. The data center operator also reported record interconnection growth and one of its strongest booking quarters, reinforcing confidence that customer investment remains broad-based despite persistent capacity constraints.
The AI infrastructure market continues producing a familiar pattern. GPU demand dominates headlines, yet the companies enabling connectivity between enterprises, cloud providers [...]
