giftdetect· the right gift in minutesEquinix has opened a new data center in Singapore with an investment of $290 million, adding capacity in one of Asia's busiest digital infrastructure hubs.
The facility is built around resource efficiency. It uses NEWater, Singapore's recycled water, as well as rainwater harvesting to reduce reliance on conventional water supplies. Solar panels provide part of the site's energy, and liquid cooling is used to handle heat from high-density computing equipment.
Why it matters
Data centers consume large amounts of power and water, and Singapore has limited land and resources. A facility that combines recycled water, on-site solar generation and liquid cooling reflects the pressure operators face to expand capacity while limiting environmental impact.
Liquid cooling is also increasingly relevant as AI workloads push server power density higher, a task that traditional air cooling can struggle to manage efficiently.
Further details, including capacity figures and customer commitments, were not part of the information available at the time of writing.
