Racing top-speed with the motto; “Simple. Honest. Strong”: CoreSite

CoreSite Corporation started in 2001 as CRG West, a portfolio company of The Carlyle Group. It was created to meet the needs of interconnection and data center customers at One Wilshire in Los Angeles and 55 South Market in San Jose.

From 2001 through 2009, CRG West continued to expand its data center footprint across the U.S. and broaden its offering of interconnection services. As CRG West’s strengths and abilities continued to grow, so did the company’s customer base. The Any2Exchange® for Internet peering was launched and quickly became the second largest of its kind in the country.

In 2009, CRG West rebranded as CoreSite, a name more indicative of the company’s national capabilities, international reach and mission-critical reliability. In 2010, CoreSite became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Headquartered in Colorado, US, CoreSite has 17 operational data centers with two more under construction, in eight major communications markets across the United States, serves more than 800 customers and has a portfolio totaling more than 2.8 million square feet of data center space.
