Cologix, a North American network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company, has acquired Calgary carrier hotel DataHiveOne, along with most of DataHive’s colocation and interconnection assets, the company said. The acquisition marks Cologix’s entry into the Calgary market.
“Cologix is establishing its presence in Calgary by acquiring the market’s most interconnected facility and will build on this foundation with future Scalelogix and digital edge deployments to extend its regional footprint and strengthen its platform for key workloads such as inference AI and cloud,” company officials said.
Located in downtown Calgary, DataHiveOne is a carrier-neutral facility serving as the region’s central interconnection hub. Housing more than 30 networks including the region’s internet exchange, YYCIX, the facility offers enterprises, carriers and cloud service providers direct access to global networks and seamless connectivity across North America and beyond, officials said.
“This acquisition is a pivotal step in our continued investment in Canada to meet the growing needs of our customers,” said Laura Ortman, CEO of Cologix. “DataHiveOne is a critical interconnection hub that not only complements our existing footprint but also significantly enhances our ability to support our customers’ digital infrastructure and interconnection needs. It provides them with the dense network access, low latency and data sovereignty they need, helping us meet the increasing demand for reliable, secure connectivity.”
“DataHiveOne has long served as the heart of connectivity in western Canada,” said Marjorie Zingle, CEO and founder of DataHive. “We’re proud of the role we’ve played in enabling global reach for Canadian interconnection, and we’re confident that Cologix, with its scale, expertise and commitment to Canada, will continue growing and evolving this critical infrastructure.”
The acquisition strengthens Cologix’s presence in Canada’s digital infrastructure, which includes 22 data centers across Montréal, Toronto and Vancouver, offering more than 1 million square feet of capacity. Cologix also has a Canadian interconnection ecosystem of 330 networks, 150-plus cloud providers, more than 15 public cloud onramps and four internet exchanges.
