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.
