Cologix operates carrier-neutral data centers across the United States and Canada — in mid-tier markets where businesses need interconnection-dense colocation without the premium pricing of the largest Tier 1 metros. With Cloud Connect for direct hyperscaler access, Metro Connect for low-latency inter-facility links, and Internet Exchange peering to reduce transit costs, Cologix provides the full interconnection stack for enterprises, cloud providers, and network operators. Fibi sources and negotiates Cologix on your behalf, at no cost to you.
Portfolio
Colocation, Cloud Connect, Metro Connect, cross-connects, and Internet Exchange peering — delivered from carrier-neutral facilities across 40+ locations in the US and Canada.
Carrier-neutral data center space, power, and cooling across 40+ facilities in the United States and Canada. Cologix colocation provides the physical infrastructure — cabinets, caged suites, and custom deployments — in interconnection-dense buildings where hundreds of networks, ISPs, and cloud on-ramps are already present. Mid-tier market focus means competitive economics outside the premium-priced Tier 1 metros, without sacrificing the carrier and cloud density that makes colocation valuable.
Direct, private connectivity to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud from within Cologix facilities. Cloud Connect eliminates public internet routing for cloud-bound traffic — establishing a dedicated, low-latency connection to the hyperscaler's on-ramp physically present in the same or adjacent Cologix facility. For organizations with significant cloud workloads, Cloud Connect reduces latency, improves consistency, and removes the complexity of provisioning a separate carrier circuit to reach the cloud provider's meet-me room.
Low-latency metro Ethernet connectivity between Cologix facilities within the same metropolitan market. Metro Connect provides a dedicated Layer 2 path between multiple Cologix locations in a metro — or between a Cologix facility and a nearby enterprise site — with predictable performance and without routing traffic over the public internet. Designed for organizations with multi-site colocation footprints in the same city, or those needing a private, fast link between their Cologix environment and an adjacent carrier hub or campus location.
Physical and virtual cross-connects within Cologix facilities — enabling direct cabling between your colocation equipment and other tenants, carriers, ISPs, cloud on-ramps, and meet-me rooms in the same building. Cross-connects are the foundational connectivity layer in any colocation environment, allowing direct, private interconnection without traffic leaving the facility. Meet-me rooms provide the neutral switching point where multiple parties exchange connectivity in a managed, standardized environment.
Internet Exchange peering points within Cologix facilities — where ISPs, content providers, cloud platforms, and enterprises exchange traffic directly without transit intermediaries. Peering at a Cologix IX reduces ongoing transit costs by allowing traffic to move directly between networks rather than through a paid transit provider, and typically improves latency by reducing hops. For ISPs, CDNs, and large enterprises with significant inter-network traffic, IX membership can deliver material cost reduction and performance improvements alongside the colocation and interconnection stack.
Ideal For
Organizations with infrastructure requirements in Cologix's core markets — Minneapolis, Columbus, Denver, Dallas, Jacksonville, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, and others — where carrier-neutral colocation with cloud and network density is needed outside the premium-priced Tier 1 metros.
Businesses running hybrid or multi-cloud architectures that need direct, private connectivity to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Oracle Cloud. Cologix Cloud Connect provides dedicated hyperscaler on-ramps co-located with your infrastructure, reducing latency and simplifying the cloud connectivity architecture.
Internet service providers, content delivery networks, and large enterprises with significant inter-network traffic that can benefit from direct peering at a Cologix Internet Exchange — reducing ongoing transit costs and improving performance to peered networks.
Businesses consolidating out of owned or leased on-premises data centers into carrier-neutral colocation — where the full range of network and cloud connectivity options are available from day one, without being locked into a single carrier's infrastructure or pricing.
Why Cologix
What sets Cologix apart from other colocation and interconnection providers.
Cologix has built its business around mid-tier US and Canadian markets — Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Minneapolis, Columbus, Denver, Dallas, Jacksonville, Lafayette, New Jersey, and Silicon Valley — where interconnection-dense carrier-neutral colocation has historically been underserved. For businesses whose operations, customers, or network paths are centered in these markets, Cologix delivers the same carrier and cloud density as a major metro facility without the Tier 1 premium pricing that comes with New York or LA footprints.
Cologix facilities are carrier-neutral — no single network provider owns the building or controls access to others. Hundreds of carriers, ISPs, and cloud on-ramps are present across the Cologix portfolio, and customers connect to any of them on equal terms. Carrier neutrality enables competitive pricing between network providers, redundant multi-carrier connectivity, and the ability to switch or add providers without physically relocating equipment — which is the core operational advantage of neutral colocation versus carrier-owned facilities.
Cologix Cloud Connect provides dedicated private access to AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect, and Oracle Cloud FastConnect — all from within Cologix facilities. Having cloud on-ramps physically co-located with your infrastructure simplifies the architecture, reduces the number of providers and contracts required to reach the cloud, and delivers lower-latency, higher-reliability cloud connectivity compared to public internet paths or separately provisioned carrier circuits to reach a distant cloud exchange.
Cologix operates Internet Exchange peering points where networks exchange traffic directly — bypassing paid transit providers for traffic between peered parties. For ISPs, content platforms, and enterprises with substantial inter-network traffic volumes, IX peering at a Cologix facility translates into ongoing reduction of transit bandwidth costs and measurable latency improvement to peered networks. The combination of IX membership, colocation, and Cloud Connect in one facility creates a complete interconnection stack without requiring multiple facility relationships.
Cologix maintains an active ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) program focused on energy efficiency, renewable energy sourcing, and sustainable data center operations. For organizations with corporate sustainability reporting requirements or environmental commitments that extend to their infrastructure supply chain, Cologix's ESG focus provides verifiable commitments that many colocation providers at comparable price points do not match.
