(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation and interconnection data center operator Telx (www.telx.com) has expanded its downtown Chicago presence by adding 15,000 additional gross square feet and 10,000 available sellable square feet, approximately doubling its square footage and available cabinet equivalents at the facility.
According to its Wednesday announcement, Telx’s colocation and interconnection capabilities were at 350 East Cermak Street, a strategic hub for financial services customers needing low latency networking and proximity hosting, offering customers new opportunities to colocate in the most densely populated colocation and interconnection facility in the region.
“Low latency connectivity and high-volume high performance interconnection remain in strong demand, especially in major financial hubs such as Chicago,” Telx president and chief financial officer Chris Downie said in a statement. “We remain committed to serving customers with proximity hosting and access to the fastest connectivity providers available in the US today.”
The facility also allows more businesses to access the Telx Financial Xchange housed at 350 East Cermak Street, offering direct connections to more than 30 of the industry’s leading exchanges, trading platforms, and financial service companies.
The data center expansion announcement comes two weeks after Telx installed its 1,000th customer presence and completed its 25,000th cross-connection within its facilities, securing its place as one of the industry’s largest global marketplaces of colocation and interconnection services.
Earlier in the week, hosting services provider Rackspace Hosting (www.rackspace.com) also announced plans to expand its data center operations in the Chicago area, leasing approximately 36,700 square feet of raised floor space with 5.633 megawatts of critical load.
