1623 Farnam, a regional network-neutral edge interconnection and data center service provider, has completed what it says is a major facility expansion at its flagship, carrier-neutral data center in Omaha.
The project, which adds the facility's final two data halls, brings an additional 1.5 MW of IT capacity and 280 cabinet-ready positions online to address the growing demand from customers across cloud, AI, content, and broadband markets.
Driven by customer growth and the increasing need for high-performance interconnection, 1623 Farnam accelerated the project timeline to bring the expansion online in the first half of 2025. The newly completed data halls are now ready for customer move-ins.
As a central hub for the Omaha IX and a key interconnection point for the Midwest, 1623 Farnam serves a diverse ecosystem of cloud, content, carriers and enterprise customers.
1623 Farnam offers access to 50 network companies which have local, regional, national and international reach.
"We're seeing significant demand from AI workloads, edge deployments, content platforms and broadband networks that rely on our central, highly connected location to solve east-west and north-south latency challenges,” said Bill Severn, president and CEO of 1623 Farnam. “This expansion ensures we're ready to meet that demand, both for our existing customers and new entrants to the market."
