Equinix this week inaugurated its PA13x facility in the Meudon area of Île-de-France. It is part of Equinix’s xScale portfolio, targeting hyperscale customers. The €350 million ($361.4m) facility, located at 9 Avenue du Marechal Juin, totals 78,910 sq ft (7,330 sqm) of colocation space across 12 data halls. The 20,745 sqm (223,297 sq ft) building offers 28.8MW in total.
"The continued digitalization of our industries and the rise of artificial intelligence require infrastructure that is not only more powerful but also more responsible,” said Régis Castagné, managing director of Equinix France. “Our investments in Meudon once again illustrate our commitment to supporting the growth of a more sustainable French digital economy. This inauguration comes as the Summit for AI Action begins, where the question of digital infrastructure necessary for AI development will be central. We are convinced that we can combine innovation and sustainable development, and are happy to count on partners such as Engie Solutions and the city of Meudon to pursue our commitments to businesses' digital and energy transition.”
