Data center operator Equinix announced on Monday it has launched its newest SH5 data center in Shanghai to meet the strong demand for premium data center services in China from global customers looking to expand in the market.

The launch further strengthens Equinix’s footprint in Asia-Pacific, as well as builds on its long-term commitment to data center development in China.

Data center services market in China is projected to see a compound annual growth rate of 13.9 percent from 2009 to 2016, according to research by Frost & Sullivan.

With its experience serving multinational customers worldwide, Equinix will continue to offer the same high-performance premium colocation services in China as it does in other global markets.

Equinix acquired Asia Tone in July for $230.5 million, gaining six data centers and one disaster recovery center located across Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, including SH5.

The first phase of SH5 will provide 200 cabinet equivalents, expanding to 900 with a gross area of 80,000 square feet when all three phases of SH5 are completed.

“Our expansion in China is a strategic move to meet strong demand for premium data center services from our customers around the globe. China is one of the fastest growing markets in the Asia-Pacific region and a priority market for many multinational companies,” said Alex Tam, managing director of Equinix Greater China. “In addition, the PRC government’s twelfth, five-year plan announced in 2011 encouraged enterprises to adopt new technologies, such as cloud computing technology. This will inevitably result in tremendous demand in the market for data center services that deliver high-performance and availability. As a leading global data center service provider, Equinix will continue expanding Platform Equinix to support our customers’ business needs with our global data center footprint.”

The SH5 data center offers “premium data center services” including colocation and Smart Hands services, backed by Equinix’s trained and experienced data center technicians who will provide 24-hour support and installation assistance.

In addition to the recent acquisition of Asia Tone, Equinix also announced the completion of the second phase of its second Hong Kong data center, as well as launched phase four of its second Singapore International Business Exchange data center.
