Equinix to open second data centre in Bulgaria

October 9, 2018 By Louise Frampton Leave a Comment

Equinix is opening its second Bulgarian International Business Exchange (IBX) data centre in Q1 2019. The $19M data centre in the capital Sofia, called SO2, will support Bulgarian companies in their journey to transform their businesses through interconnection with digital supply chain partners, cloud adoption, and access to new markets around the World.

Bulgaria is a strategic location within the Balkans with access to the EU, Turkey and the Caucasus. The SO2 IBX data centre will meet customer demand by providing approximately 350 cabinets in the first phase of build out with the opportunity to add 1,100 cabinets in subsequent phases.

The SO2 data centre will provide a secure environment for local businesses and multinationals who are looking to expand into Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Additionally, SO2 will have direct connectivity to the Bulgarian Internet Exchange (BIX).

SO2 will use 100 percent green energy, a practice that Equinix’s original data centre in Sofia, SO1, has leveraged since 2016. Equinix announced in 2015 its commitment to 100 percent clean and renewable energy for its entire global footprint. Through ongoing development of partnerships Equinix continues to deploy innovative new sustainable technologies including solar, wind and fuel cells, to make this commitment a reality.
