Darren Mann, managing director, Equinix Australia. "Our second Sydney IBX data centre (SY2), which officially opened in early 2009, has filled ahead of our expectations. We are confident that this new capacity offering will also result in similar strong demand from both local and multinational corporate, government and financial services entities that levearage the Sydney metropolitan area as a key location for business."

Located south of Sydney, the new IBX data centre will have a total capacity for more than 3,000 cabinet equivalents when all of the phases are fully built out.

The new IBX will support a standard power density of 4kVA per cabinet. The new site will have direct fibre connectivity to Equinix's SY1 and SY2 IBX data centre campus, which is located less than one mile away.
