H5 Data Centers, a national colocation and wholesale data center provider, on August 5 announced the expansion of its edge data center located at 505 Marquette Avenue in downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico. The expansion more than doubles the H5 data center footprint in Albuquerque, providing further opportunities for the provider's growing interconnection ecosystem.
H5's new Albuquerque edge data center comprises a 225,000 SF carrier hotel and office building with significant fiber and network access. As contended by the provider, the top point of interconnection in Albuquerque, the new building serves a strategic role for communications in New Mexico and throughout the Southwest with limited exposure to natural disaster risks.
"505 Marquette is Albuquerque’s most interconnected access point," comments Josh Simms, founder and CEO of H5 Data Centers. "Cloud service providers and content companies increasingly require low-latency access to networks and digital partners. Due to its geographic location, Albuquerque is well positioned for continued IT infrastructure services growth."
H5 Data Centers is one of the leading privately-owned data center operators in the U.S., with over 2 million square feet of data center space under management. The company designs and engineers scalable data center platforms to address the core infrastructure and edge requirements of its customers.
H5 operates data centers in Albuquerque, Ashburn, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Phoenix, Quincy, San Antonio, San Jose, San Luis Obispo, and Seattle. For more information, visit www.h5datacenters.com.
