Data center firm EdgeConneX this week announced the acquisition of its second data center site in the Greater Osaka and Yawata areas of Japan. The new site will provide an additional 150MW upon completion, bringing EdgeConneX's total data center capacity in Japan to 350MW of utility power at full build-out.
"Our rapid expansion in Japan signifies our commitment to supporting the country's digital transformation. By blending world-class technology, sustainability, and innovation, EdgeConneX is uniquely positioned to meet the demands of a power-constrained and high-growth market like Japan. These projects are a testament to our ability to deliver scalable, reliable, and environmentally responsible solutions for the AI-driven future," said Sam Lee, managing director, market & commercial development for EdgeConneX.
"We are thrilled to see our vision for Japan taking shape so quickly, with substantial milestones already achieved. With these two facilities, we aim not only to address the increasing need for advanced IT infrastructure but also to solidify Japan's position as a global leader in Cloud and AI technologies. This is an exciting chapter for EdgeConneX and the broader Osaka ecosystem," added Masahiko Inoue, head of Japan for EdgeConneX.
