Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Other Exit Activities | Restructuring and Other Exit Activities Q4 2024 Restructuring Plan In November 2024, we initiated a restructuring plan to realign the organization and enable further investment in key priority areas (the "Q4 2024 Restructuring Plan"), resulting in costs of $27 million being incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024. The activities under the Q4 2024 Restructuring Plan were substantially completed by December 31, 2024. Equinix Metal Wind Down In November 2024, we announced the decision to make Equinix Metal no longer commercially available as a product and to wind down operations that support this product by June 2026 (the "Equinix Metal Wind Down"). As a result of the Equinix Metal Wind Down, we expect to incur costs of approximately $10 million to $14 million, with $4 million of these costs incurred during the year ended December 31, 2024. We expect substantially all costs under this plan to be incurred and paid by the end of the fourth quarter of 2026. The actual amounts and timing of incremental costs and cash payments may differ from these estimates should we make further decisions which impact the execution of these activities. In addition, we recorded an impairment charge of $160 million associated with the Equinix Metal Wind Down during the year ended December 31, 2024, as described in Note 17. The following table summarizes costs incurred under the Q4 2024 Restructuring Plan and the Equinix Metal Wind Down, which are included in restructuring charges in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, during the year ended December 31, 2024 (in millions):
