This growth comes on the heels of its strategic investment in EdgePresence , which accelerates DataBank’s edge data center strategy by adding a modular data center platform to augment its traditional data center portfolio.

Collectively, these developments put DataBank at the forefront of the edge infrastructure wave, enabling enterprises, hyperscalers, cloud, content, and software customers to move their mission-critical workloads and platforms closer to end-user populations in second-, third-, and fourth-tier markets.
