Singapore is one of our most important markets globally, and our continued investment here is a testament to the central role it plays in the digital economy.”
SG6 is among the first data centers developed under Singapore’s Data Centre Call for Application framework and is designed to support high-density AI deployments through advanced cooling technologies, including proprietary cooling systems and liquid-cooling capabilities that accommodate power-intensive GPU infrastructure.
The opening of SG6 further advances Equinix’s Future First sustainability strategy and aligns with the company’s science-based commitment to achieve net zero emissions by 2040 and 100% renewable energy coverage globally by 2030 across its retail IBXs data centers. Equinix’s Singapore data centers have maintained 100% renewable energy coverage since 2020. SG6 is designed to achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.20 and is targeting Green Mark Platinum certification. The facility also incorporates rooftop and facade solar photovoltaic systems, rainwater harvesting capabilities and lower-embodied-carbon construction materials to support more efficient operations and responsible growth.
Asia-Pacific is at the forefront of digital transformation,
“Asia-Pacific is at the forefront of digital transformation, with AI adoption, cloud expansion and data-intensive workloads driving unprecedented demand for high-performance digital infrastructure,” said Cyrus Adaggra, President, Asia-Pacific, Equinix. “Singapore remains a strategic gateway for businesses serving the region, connecting key markets, talent and innovation ecosystems. SG6 strengthens our ability to support customers as they scale across Asia-Pacific, providing the resilient, interconnected and sustainable infrastructure they need to accelerate innovation and capture new growth opportunities.”
