What changed
Equinix said on 11 November that CH5, its sixth International Business Exchange data centre in the Chicago metro area, has opened in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, backed by an initial investment of US$215 million. At full build-out it is expected to provide more than 190,000 sq ft of colocation space. Equinix says CH5 uses air cooling that requires no routine water consumption for cooling, with cooling plant on the roof. Construction created about 150 local jobs and the site is expected to support up to 50 permanent staff. No power capacity was given.
