DENVER and TORONTO – April 28, 2016 – Toronto’s status as one of the most important emerging data centre markets in North America took a step forward with new carrier grade data centre capacity to address demand resulting from key IT trends.

Customers have immediate access to up to 1MW of new high power density data centre capacity. “Toronto is at the forefront of three key trends impacting the data centre market: 1) IP traffic interconnecting closer to the edge in emerging markets, 2) enterprises outsourcing data centre operations and 3) the rise of hybrid cloud models,” explained Sean Maskell, president, Cologix Canada. “Our TOR2 expansion is a direct response to the demand Cologix is seeing for high availability, highly connected, neutral retail colocation based on each of these trends.” Toronto’s news data centre capacity introduces enterprise cage solutions to the technology forward hot-‐aisle containment pods and in-‐row cooling that sets Cologix’s Toronto facilities apart from the competition.
