EdgeConneX Adds Second Atlanta Data Center, More Than Tripling Local Edge Capacity
The Edge Atlanta Campus is poised to support large and dense customer deployments with a total capacity of 21 megawatts.
ATLANTA, GA—EdgeConneX, which specializes in global data center solutions, will be creating an Edge Data Center campus in Atlanta, GA. The new EDC, called ATL02, brings 15 megawatts of additional critical power capacity to market. The Edge Campus will be able to support a total of 21 megawatts of capacity once fully built out. With diverse networking options available to customers, including private connectivity solutions to leading cloud service providers, the EdgeConneX data center campus in Atlanta is ideally suited to support requirements for both service providers and enterprises.
“Our Edge Data Centers are specifically designed to provide robust power and cooling with the highest levels of reliability, while delivering industry-leading uptime availability for customers,” says Bryan Weeks, general manager for the Southeast at EdgeConneX. “By expanding existing Edge facilities and developing them into regional data center campus environments in markets like Atlanta and Miami, EdgeConneX demonstrates the rapid momentum of the Edge. We will continue to expand our local Edge footprint on a highly distributed global basis to ensure our customers can operate competitively in today’s latency-sensitive, highly proximate, data-driven market.”
EdgeConneX’s Atlanta Data Center Campus can support local requirements for cloud, content, network and “Internet of Things” providers, enabling them to deploy their infrastructure close to customers and end users, ensuring optimal performance, availability, security and economics for their services.
Meanwhile, local enterprises can get private network access to leading cloud solution providers because of the new capacity and service provider ecosystem available at the Atlanta campus. With a forthcoming deployment planned by Megaport, a leading Cloud on-ramp provider, enterprises will be able to access securely all the leading cloud service providers locally in Atlanta.
The EdgeConneX Atlanta-2 EDC will be capable of supporting up to five data halls. Both facilities are carrier-neutral and some of the leading network providers available will include CenturyLink, Cogent, Comcast, Level 3, Pilot Fiber, Southern Telecom, Crowne Castle, Telia, Charter, Windstream, and Zayo offering IP, lit transport and dark fiber networking solutions. Both Atlanta EDCs, located just outside Atlanta’s City Center, will be interconnected via redundant dark fiber.
