“With its low natural disaster risk and high fiber density, Atlanta is home to many Fortune 500 companies and is a critical market for EdgeConneX,” comments Aron Smith, Vice President for Interconnection Product Management at EdgeConneX. “We proudly support our clients’ edge deployments with two data centers located near the downtown metro area. Location sensitivity is key when you are building the edge, and that is why we spurred a fundamental shift in bringing the data center to the edge in markets such as Atlanta. We look forward to working with the Bandwidth IG team as they serve the dark fiber and connectivity requirements of key organizations in the region.”

“Atlanta is fast becoming a crucial market for data-intensive businesses and the EdgeConneX campus is among the first sites we knew we had to include in our new network,” said Jim Nolte, CEO of Bandwidth IG. “The legacy fiber networks in Atlanta are all close to 20 years old and with many companies committing large-scale deployments here, we knew this market was in need of new, state-of-the-art infrastructure.”
