Data center firm Etix Everywhere has completed the core and shell of a new facility in Bangkok, Thailand.

The company this week announced it has officially delivered the core and shell of Etix BKK#2.

Located adjacent to the 5MW ETIX BKK#1, the building totals 16,000 sqm (172,223 sq ft) and will provide 23MW IT capacity. The company said the new building can offer densities up to 150kW and support both liquid and air cooling.

“The development of Etix BKK#1 has been impressive; we have multiplied our capacity by six in just three years. We now have 2MW available immediately at Etix BKK#1, and the launch of Etix BKK#2 with an additional 23MW comes at the right time,” said Pierre Patris, CEO Asia at Etix Everywhere. “The fact that ETIX BKK#2 is next door is a great advantage for our customers because they can benefit from the same telecom ecosystem and grow within the same area as if it were the same building.”

Etix acquired a 67 percent interest in Genesis Data Center, which operated a facility in the Bang Chalong area of Bangkok, for around AU$15.2 million (US$10.8m) in early 2022.

Genesis was launched in 2018 by Interlink, local IT firm Advanced Information Tech, and Thai industrial property development company WHA Corp. Interlink continues to own 33 percent of the facility.

Etix Everywhere and Interlink Telecom Plc (ITEL) then set up Etix Itel Bangkok Co, a joint venture that operates the Etix Bangkok#1 facility.

After Vantage acquired most of Etix’s European hyperscale footprint, ASX-listed Global Data Centre Group (GDCG) bought the remainder of Etix in 2020. European private investment firm Eurazo invested $46.8 million into Etix last year, and French investment firm Infranity bought the remaining stake from GDCG earlier this year.

Today, the company operates small Edge facilities in France, Belgium, Thailand, and Colombia.
