📅 - Data center and Internet exchange services provider Equinix (equinix.com) announced this week that email security and management company Postini Inc. will move part of its IT infrastructure from a carrier-owned data center to Equinix's Chicago Internet Business Exchange (IBX) center.
Equinix says the move will enable Postini to enhance its redundancy and disaster recovery operations using the high-performance infrastructure and large aggregation of networks available in its centers. Postini's Preemptive Email Protection technology is a managed service that handles enterprise email system security and management, offering spam and virus filtering, content and policy management, disaster recovery and protection from attacks. The service guarantees 99.999 percent availability, requiring a high-performance infrastructure that relies on multiple network service providers. "As new malicious email attacks are developed every day, it is imperative that we have the most reliable and high performance IT infrastructure to support our enterprise customers," said Scott Petry, vice president of products and engineering at Postini. "After reviewing a variety of alternatives, including carrier-owned data centers, we determined that Equinix's neutral centers and the aggregation of networks that they offer, provided the best option to enhance the redundancy of our IT operations."

📅 - 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 [...]

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 [...]
