Equinix MD5 is an operating IBX data center at the company’s Alcobendas campus near Madrid, officially inaugurated in May 2026. The facility provides more than 4,400 square metres of colocation space and was announced with N+1 electrical redundancy, N+1 cooling redundancy and a 5+1 backup-generator configuration. Equinix states that its Spanish facilities, including MD5, are covered by 100% renewable energy and cites availability above 99.999%. The company’s €460 million investment figure applies to the broader Alcobendas campus rather than MD5 alone.
