Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions 2022 Acquisitions Acquisition of Entel Chile Data Centers (the "Entel Chile Acquisition") and Entel Peru Data Center (the "Entel Peru Acquisition") On May 2, 2022, we further expanded in Latin America through an acquisition of four data centers in Chile from Entel, a leading Chilean telecommunications provider, for a total purchase consideration of $638.3 million at the exchange rate in effect on that date. On August 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a data center in Peru from Entel for a total purchase consideration of $80.3 million at the exchange rate in effect on that date. The Entel Chile Acquisition and Entel Peru Acquisition support our ongoing expansion to meet customer demand in the Latin American market. Acquisition of MainOne (the "MainOne Acquisition") On April 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of MainOne, consisting of four data centers as well as a subsea cable and terrestrial fiber network. We acquired MainOne and its assets for a total purchase consideration of $278.4 million. The MainOne Acquisition supports our ongoing expansion to meet customer demand in the West African market. 2021 Acquisition Acquisition of GPX India (the "GPX India Acquisition") On September 1, 2021, we completed the acquisition of GPX India, representing two data centers in Mumbai, India, for a total purchase consideration of approximately INR12.5 billion, or $170.5 million at the exchange rate in effect on that date. The GPX India Acquisition supports our ongoing expansion to meet customer demand in the Indian market. Purchase price allocation Each of the acquisitions noted above constitute a business under the accounting standard for business combinations and, therefore, were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the total purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed measured at fair value on the date of acquisition, except where alternative measurement is required under GAAP. As of December 31, 2022, we had not completed the detailed valuation analysis to derive the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Entel Peru Acquisition, Entel Chile Acquisition and MainOne Acquisition as it relates to the related tax impacts; therefore, the purchase price allocation is based on provisional estimates and subject to continuing management analysis. A summary of the final allocation of total purchase consideration is presented as follows (in thousands):

(1)For the MainOne Acquisition, other current liabilities includes $9.9 million of deferred revenue - current and the other liabilities includes $95.4 million of deferred revenue - non-current. Property, plant and equipment - The fair values of property, plant and equipment acquired from these four acquisitions were estimated by applying the cost approach, with the exception of land, which we estimated by applying the market approach. The key assumptions of the cost approach include replacement cost new, physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence, economic useful life, remaining useful life, age and effective age. Intangible assets - The following table presents certain information on the acquired intangible assets (in thousands):
Intangible Assets |  | Fair Value |  | Estimated Useful Lives (Years) |  | Weighted-average Estimated Useful Lives (Years) |  | Discount Rate
GPX India: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships (1) |  | $ | 15,408 |  |  | 15.0 |  | 15.0 |  | 11.0 | %
Entel Peru: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships (1) |  | 10,000 |  |  | 15.0 |  | 15.0 |  | 7.0 | %
Entel Chile: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships (1) |  | 153,489 |  |  | 12.0 - 15.0 |  | 14.0 |  | 8.5% - 9.5%
MainOne: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Customer relationships (1) |  | 51,500 |  |  | 10.0 - 15.0 |  | 14.0 |  | 11.5 | %
Trade names (2) |  | 3,300 |  |  | 5.0 |  | 5.0 |  | 11.5 | %
(1)The fair value was estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future operating cash flows generated from existing customers less costs to realize the revenue and/or by using benchmarking. The rates reflect the nature of the assets as they relate to the risk and uncertainty of the estimated future operating cash flows, as well as the risk of the country within which the acquired business operates. (2)The fair value of the MainOne trade name was estimated using the relief from royalty method under the income approach. We applied a relief from royalty rate of 1.0%. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the projected revenue increase expected to arise from future customers after the acquisition. Goodwill from the GPX India Acquisition is attributable to the Asia-Pacific region and is not deductible for local tax purposes. Goodwill from the Entel Peru and Entel Chile acquisitions are attributable to the Americas region and are not expected to be amortizable for local tax purposes. Goodwill from the MainOne Acquisition is attributable to the EMEA region and is generally not deductible for local tax purposes. Revenues and net income from operations The operating results of the Entel Peru and Entel Chile acquisitions are reported in the Americas region and the operating results of the MainOne Acquisition are reported in the EMEA region following the date of acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our results of operations from these acquisitions included $89.9 million of revenues and $8.2 million net income from operations. Transaction costs During the year ended December 31, 2022, the transaction costs for the Entel Chile and Entel Peru acquisitions were $7.2 million and the transaction costs for the MainOne acquisition were not significant. 2020 Acquisitions Acquisition of Bell Data Centers (the "Bell Acquisition") On October 1, 2020, we completed the acquisition of 12 data center sites across Canada from Bell, with one additional data center in Ottawa Canada acquired on November 2, 2020, for a total combined purchase consideration of approximately C$934.3 million, or $704.0 million at the exchange rates in effect on those dates. The acquisition supports our ongoing expansion to meet customer demand in Canada. Acquisition of Packet (the "Packet Acquisition") On March 2, 2020, we acquired all outstanding shares and equity awards of Packet, a leading bare metal automation platform for a total purchase consideration of approximately $290.3 million in cash. In addition, we paid $16.1 million in cash to accelerate the vesting of unvested Packet equity awards for certain Packet employees, which was recorded as stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020. In connection with the acquisition, we also issued restricted stock awards with an aggregated fair value of $30.2 million and a three-year vesting period, which will be recognized as stock-based compensation costs over the vesting period. The acquisition, combined with Equinix Metal TM, is expected to accelerate our strategy to help enterprises deploy hybrid multicloud architectures on our data center platform. Acquisition of data centers from Axtel (the "Axtel Acquisition") On January 8, 2020, we completed the acquisition of three data centers in Mexico from Axtel for a total purchase consideration of approximately $189.0 million, including $175.0 million in cash and $14.0 million we paid to the seller for recoverable value-added taxes ("VAT") incurred prior to the acquisition, which related to a corresponding VAT receivable acquired upon acquisition.
