International hosting provider LeaseWeb is adding another location to its growing fleet of data centers – this time on the US West Coast. The company this week announced that it will place data center operations inside Equinix’s SV3 Silicon Valley facility in San Jose, California.

LeaseWeb has one other US-based data center in Virginia. “This second United States data center location expands LeaseWeb USA’s hosting services reach and strengthens its product and service offering across the country”, said the company in a statement. 

The San Jose addition brings LeaseWeb’s total number of data center locations to eight worldwide, with half of those located in the Netherlands. The company hinted to further expansion in the US in partnership with Equinix, the data center and co-location giant that the Wall Street Journal recently branded “the Internet’s Biggest Landlord.”

LeaseWeb said it will initially offer on-demand bare metal hosting solutions from the Equinix data center in San Jose, but it plans on expanding its services catalogue on the West Coast.

“Through our West Coast expansion, we now have full US coverage providing a good jumping off point into the Asia-Pacific region”, said William Schrader, CEO of LeaseWeb USA, in a press statement. “Many of our East Coast customers have requested to deploy LeaseWeb’s agile and cost-efficient bare metal dedicated servers on the West Coast as well. This agreement with Equinix provides them with expanded options provided by two trusted and global brands within the hosting and data center industries.”

Just this past summer, LeaseWeb announced an expansion into the Asia-Pacific region with a new data center operation at Pacnet’s Singapore CloudSpace II facility.

The deal with Pacnet laid the groundwork for future Asia-Pacific expansion, according to a statement from the company, with Hong Kong, Sydney and Tokyo named as target destinations in the region.
