Nasdaq-listed digital infrastructure company Equinix Inc. recently announced its planned entry into the Philippines with the acquisition of three data centers from technology solutions provider Total Information Management (TIM).
The acquisition includes a recently opened data center in Manila.
These sites will provide capacity for Equinix to address the digital needs of local and overseas businesses in the Philippines.
By extending Platform Equinix to the Philippines, local businesses can expand globally across 71 markets while overseas companies can seize the digital opportunities presented in the country.
Enterprises, cloud and IT service providers, and network service providers around the world can leverage Platform Equinix to interconnect and exchange data privately and securely within a vibrant ecosystem of business partners and customers.
Existing customers of TIM, including network and financial services companies, will continue to receive a world class level of service whilst also gaining access to Equinix’s global ecosystems of more than 10,000 companies, including more than 2,000 networks and 3,000 cloud and IT service providers.
“This strategic acquisition, combined with our recent expansions in Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as the awarded data center 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 AI,” said Jeremy Deutsch, president, Asia-Pacific.
Jose Mari Antunez, chairman of TIM said the company will remain as a system integrator.
