The xScale design supports deployments from 10MW to over 100MW on single campuses while maintaining standardised power densities up to 50kW per rack. Critically, the platform incorporates multiple cooling architectures – air cooling, indirect evaporative cooling and liquid cooling infrastructure – allowing clients to select appropriate technologies as their requirements evolve.

Equinix’ s approach to power infrastructure emphasises redundancy without inflexibility. N + 1 and 2N configurations coexist within facilities, allowing clients to match infrastructure to application criticality. The company’ s investment in on-site renewable energy and battery storage provides scalable sustainability alongside capacity growth.

The interconnection ecosystem represents another scalability dimension. Equinix’ s Platform Equinix digital services layer enables clients to provision connectivity, deploy network functions and access cloud on-ramps programmatically. This softwaredefined approach to infrastructure management allows enterprises to scale network capacity as rapidly as compute and storage.

With consistent standards across continents, Equinix provides enterprises with predictable infrastructure characteristics regardless of location – essential for organisations deploying distributed applications requiring uniform performance globally.
