Equinix has launched the expansion of its ST2 facility in Santiago, Chile.
As announced in a recent LinkedIn post, the facility saw an investment of $50 million, bringing the company’s cumulative investment in Chile to more than $1 billion.
ST2, located in the Pudahuel area of the capital, is the first data center in Chile designed with liquid cooling technology, according to Equinix.
Further specifications of the expansion have not yet been shared.
The company already has four data centers in Chile, three of which it acquired from Entel in 2022. The four facilities - ST1, ST2, ST3, and ST4 - total over 7.5MW in IT capacity and have a combined area of 7,536 sqm (81,000 sq ft).
Equinix is also currently building a fifth facility - ST5 - also in the Pudahuel district. When complete, ST5 will comprise 16 data rooms across two stories.
Equinix operates 85 data centers across Latin America in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru.
