Data center acquisition

Zayo Group Holdings has completed the $12.8 million acquisition of a data center in Santa Clara, the company’s first data center in northern California. The Bay area represents one of Zayo’s most extensive metro dark fiber footprints, encompassing 1,500 route miles. The facility includes 3MW of critical power. The location is adjacent to the recently completed Levi’s Stadium and connects to multiple data centers in Silicon Valley via Zayo-owned fiber assets. The facility also includes a high-efficiency power and cooling infrastructure, seismic reinforcement and proximity to Zayo’s long haul dark fiber routes between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

“We have long targeted northern California as an expansion opportunity for our zColo data center business. The quality and high-power density of this facility is perfectly matched to the requirements of our leading-edge Bay area customers,” said Chris Morley, COO at Zayo. With the high concentration of technology, content companies and research labs, Silicon Valley is a highly strategic location for Zayo. This facility complements zColo’s strong nationwide footprint, which is experiencing demand from cloud, content, service providers and traditional enterprise firms.
