Status: Operational | Location: 5851 West Side Ave, North Bergen, NJ 07047, USA
Project Overview
Equinix NY7 Data Center, located at 5851 West Side Avenue in North Bergen, New Jersey, is a major International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) facility supporting the financial, enterprise, media, cloud, and telecommunications ecosystems of the New York metropolitan area. Equinix currently lists 71,946 sq ft of colocation space, while older technical documentation and third-party sources report larger total-building figures, so the supplied 138,000+ sq ft total space and 65,000+ sq ft technical whitespace should be treated as historical or project-specific figures rather than current Equinix specifications. US English NY7 is designed for organizations requiring resilient colocation and low-latency interconnection, with N+1 power redundancy and N+2 cooling redundancy. The facility uses a three-story steel-frame structure with a raised-floor capacity of 100 psf and a slab capacity of 175 psf. Its electrical infrastructure includes N+1 UPS and generator redundancy, 120V/208V power distribution, a minimum cabinet density of 4 kVA, and generator autonomy of 30 hours or more at full load. US English fire protection includes a double-interlock pre-action system with both aspirated HSSD/VESDA and non-aspirated detection, while physical security includes 24/7 security personnel, biometric access, and entrance mantraps. The facility provides access to Equinix Internet Exchange, Internet Access, Metro Connect, Cross Connects, Fiber Connect, Equinix Fabric, Network Edge, and other interconnection services. Equinix positions NY7 within the dense New York financial and digital ecosystem, providing access to financial companies, networks, cloud providers, and enterprise customers. US English sustainability measures include high-efficiency UPS systems, LED lighting, and hot/cold aisle containment. Equinix also reports 100% renewable-energy coverage for NY7 and lists ISO 50001 certification, with renewable energy supported by wind virtual power purchase agreements and Green-e renewable energy certificates.
