Manila, Philippines – Digital infrastructure firm Equinix has announced its plans to enter the Philippines with the recent acquisition of three data centres from tech solutions provider Total Information Management. This move follows the company’s objective of helping businesses expand and capitalise on the digital opportunity of the fast-growing Southeast Asia region.

Through the acquisition, the company further shared that this would offer Equinix the capacity to address the digital needs of local and overseas businesses in the Philippines.

This encompasses enterprises, cloud and IT service providers, and network service providers worldwide that can leverage Platform Equinix to interconnect and exchange data privately and securely across an ecosystem of business partners and customers.

Furthermore, existing customers of the partner company, such as network and financial services companies, are set to gain access to Equinix’s global ecosystem of more than 10,000 companies, including more than 2,000 networks and 3,000 cloud and IT service providers.

As for the three carrier-neutral and interconnection-rich data centres, the facilities include more than 1,000 cabinets of capacity and land for further expansion. These data centres will support the digital transformation of local and global customers looking to expand into the Philippines.

Jeremy Deutsch, president for Asia-Pacific at Equinix, said, “We are thrilled to announce our expansion into the Philippines, a vibrant and rapidly expanding digital economy that presents immense opportunities for our valued customers and partners. This strategic acquisition, combined with our recent expansions in Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as the awarded data centre capacity in Singapore, will greatly enhance our footprint in the region.

“This expanded digital infrastructure will also enable our customers to thrive and embrace digital transformation, harnessing the potential of emerging technologies like private AI. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our vision to extend our leadership in the Asia-Pacific region while driving the acceleration of the digital economy,” Deutsch further explained.

Jose Mari M. Antunez, chairman at Total Information Management, also commented, “Equinix’s strong reputation and expertise in the industry make them the ideal partner to take our data centre business to new heights. While TIM will continue to remain as a system integrator, helping our customers through their digital transformation strategies, this deal will bring immense benefits to our customers.”

“Equinix’s global platform and extensive network will provide enhanced connectivity, scalability, and access to a thriving ecosystem of partners. We are confident that Equinix’s commitment to excellence and customer-centric approach will ensure a seamless transition and deliver unparalleled value to our customers,” he concluded.

Presently, Platform Equinix’s global footprint includes 260 data centres across 71 metros in 33 countries. In the Asia-Pacific region, Equinix operates 56 data centres in 14 key metros across Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore, including the recently opened facilities in Johor and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
