Cologix, the network neutral interconnection and data center company, has acquired the JAX Meet Me Room (JMMR), located in the carrier hotel at 421 W. Church Street in Jacksonville, Fla.
JMMR is the most densely connected data center in the area and as such bolsters Cologix’s platform by adding a strategic and scaled meet me room and data center in a market set to emerge as a key interconnection point in the Southeastern United States.
“The submarine cables slated to land in Jacksonville create an opportunity for networks to deliver traffic directly to South America without the additional cost, latency and hurricane risk that comes with traversing through Miami,” said Grant van Rooyen, president and CEO of Cologix. “We are pleased to bring the JAX Meet Me Room business and customers into the Cologix platform. We have already initiated plans to make significant incremental investments in this facility to enhance infrastructure and expand capacity to support new networks interested in establishing a presence in Jacksonville.”
The JAX Meet Me Room operates more than 9,000 square feet in the 421 W. Church Street carrier hotel, as well as the building meet me room.
Cologix now operates 16 network neutral data centers in Dallas, Jacksonville, Minneapolis, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. With the JAX Meet Me Room acquisition, Cologix supports 600+ customers and offers 330+ network choices for its customers.
