SAN FRANCISCO - Data centre firm Equinix said on Tuesday that it signed a joint venture worth more than US$1 billion with Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC to build three data centres in Japan for the cloud computing market.
By contrast, cloud computing companies such as Amazon.com's Amazon Web Services, Alibaba Group and Microsoft spend billions of dollars to build and operate their own data centres, renting out the computing power itself rather than physical space. The three planned Japanese data centres - two in Tokyo and one in Osaka - will target large operators, Jim Smith, managing director for hyperscale business at Equinix, told Reuters.
The buildings will have more robust electrical systems and even larger doors and loading docks to accommodate customers who make their profit by squeezing more computing power into each square foot of space.
