The launch follows the announcement of an initial investment of over US$86 million to build Equinix’s third IBX data center in Mumbai and an estimated investment of over US$125 million in phases over the next 10 years for building a data center in Chennai. The new interconnection services will enable business ecosystems to securely scale into the cloud and interconnect with their partners, customers, and other key stakeholders.
