Consolidated targets the data center boom with new connectivity options
With data center connectivity demands rising due to the emergence of AI, Consolidated has responded by expanding its platform and delivering high-capacity network options.
Armed with its experience in serving data centers, Consolidated is expanding its fiber network across major data center hubs. Offering a platform that delivers Ethernet and optical wavelengths, Consolidated’s fiber footprint serves data centers across the Upper Midwest, Texas, Northern California and its newest unique route connecting Montreal and Boston.
Consolidated offers various options, including Ethernet, 100/400G DWDM, Unique/Low-Latency routes, and Construction as a Service.
These expansions enhance network diversity, lower latency, and greater bandwidth capacity, ensuring seamless data transfer and operational continuity for businesses and service providers.
To date, Consolidated serves over 150 customers on its Data Center platform.
“For the on-net and near-net data centers, we continue to invest in fiber expansion and advanced high-capacity solutions to ensure our customers have the infrastructure they need to support their tenants’ capacity and latency requirements,” said Sean Baillie, SVP of Carrier, Channel and Hyperscale for Consolidated Communications.
