DENVER, June 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Cologix, a network-neutral interconnection and
Hyperscale edge data center company, today announced the opening of
a new 20K square foot data center in
downtown Toronto. The new data
center, known as TOR3, is located on the same campus as TOR2 at 905
King Street West and offers direct connectivity to AWS, Microsoft
Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud and Oracle FastConnect.
Cologix is expanding their footprint in Toronto to support growing business needs for
seamless, robust interconnection and Cloud adoption in the heart of
Canada's largest financial and
business market. With deep and diverse dark fiber connectivity
between TOR3 and TOR1 at 151 Front Street, Canada's largest and most important carrier
hotel, TOR3 offers direct access to multiple fiber routes in and
out of the metro area. TOR3 can be utilized as a stand-alone,
diverse bypass facility to the TOR1 data center, or leveraged as a
natural extension with the diverse fiber ring connecting the two
data centers. TOR3 offers 2N redundancy, 2.08MW of power, N+1
cooling and access to 160+ networks and 50+ cloud providers.
"Our TOR3 data center is in direct response to the continued
demand we see for high availability, highly connected, neutral
retail and wholesale colocation that offers robust access to
Hyperscale cloud providers including the recent deployment of
Oracle's FastConnect on-ramp in our TOR1 data center," said Bill
Fathers Chairman and CEO of Cologix. "Across the globe,
enterprises continue to move workloads to the Cloud and consumers
expect on-demand, live and streaming content and video with low
latency to the IoT. As a result, the need for edge data, increased
bandwidth, robust interconnection and colocation storage will only
accelerate more rapidly, especially for Over the Top (OTT)
companies like Netflix, Facebook and Amazon. Spurred by this
growth, we plan to make more investments in Canada."
Available Capacity in Toronto
"Canada is home to some of
Cologix's fastest growing markets and TOR3 is an important step for
us to continue to support current customer demand while supporting
enterprise digital transformation strategies in the nation's
largest city," said Sean Maskell,
President Cologix Canada. "We are delighted to open our new,
state-of-the-art, Tier III data center with customizable space and
unsurpassed levels of security and reliability."
