EdgeConneX announced the creation of an Edge Data Center (EDC) campus in Atlanta, Georgia.
The new EDC, ATL02, brings 15MW of additional critical power capacity to market. The Edge Campus will be able to support 21MW of capacity once fully built out — targeting both service providers and enterprises.
EdgeConneX’s Atlanta Data Center Campus can support local requirements for cloud, content, network and IoT providers, enabling them to deploy their infrastructure in close proximity to customers and end users ensuring optimal performance.
With a forthcoming deployment planned by Megaport, a leading Cloud on-ramp provider, enterprises will also have the network flexibility and choice to securely access all of the leading cloud service providers locally in Atlanta.
“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,” said Bryan Weeks, general manager for the Southeast at EdgeConneX.
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.
Both Atlanta EDCs, located just outside Atlanta’s City Center, will be interconnected via redundant dark fiber.
