Cologix, Inc. – Building data centers of tomorrow by integrating hyper-scale edge capacity with robust interconnection

As the enterprise world continues speeding towards complete digitization, technologies like cloud and multi-cloud are leading the charge. Cloud offerings like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud are changing how enterprises consume IT resources. Having cloud-grade infrastructure at an enterprise opens up opportunities that did not exist before. Perhaps the essential impact of the rise of cloud and multi-cloud is data center architectures. In years gone by, enterprise data centers were sprawling collections of sometimes eclectic equipment deployed in support of point applications or use cases.

Cologix is one such firm that is reinventing the edge, building the data centers by integrating hyper-scale edge capacity with robust interconnection. The firm has dedicated experienced local teams that foster industry-leading service and lend support to their customers through every aspect of your digital infrastructure journey. One connection to the company's ecosystem empowers your digital transformation, connecting you to the solutions and partners you need.

Cologix Interconnection Data Center Platform: The Cologix data center interconnection platform brings global marketplaces to local businesses and consumers. Virtualization and cloud computing have transformed the importance of data center interconnection. It is used to replicate data from a primary data center to a disaster recovery site or backup datacenter; a data center interconnects now enables enterprises to load-balanced computing resources across multiple sites dynamically. Adaptive selection regarding the best network or cloud provider for your applications significantly reduces cost and risk, while improving service promoting future flexibility. Choice leads to fair pricing and innovation. Smaller customers with a presence in a carrier-neutral facility can exercise the same buying power traditionally reserved for the most significant customers.
