The holidays are upon us, along with the start of one the busiest shopping seasons of the year. In the U.S. alone, retail holiday sales are forecasted to reach $965 billion.
In the spirit of the season, the Interconnections blog is offering a look at our data centers in global shopping meccas. We perused a variety of “top shopping city” rankings, and chose places that appeared multiple times, and also host Equinix data centers. We also added a few additional Equinix cities with fast-growing retail sectors (Hello, Shanghai and Sao Paolo).
It’s worth noting that Equinix isn’t just located in top shopping cities – we help make them top shopping cities. We enable the low-latency interconnection between the merchants, banks and customers that make purchases happen in-store, online, via smartphone, or wherever. Read more about how we help businesses handle the holiday shopping surge. Now, to our shopping capitals:
London (LD6):
New York (NY4):
Hong Kong (HK1):
Paris (PA4):
Tokyo (TY4):
Dubai (DX 1/2):
Shanghai (SH5):
Sao Paolo (SP2):
