Edge Colocation: Put Your Data Within Milliseconds of Your Users<\/h1>\n

Edge traffic is booming, and the numbers don\u2019t lie. Global edge data center revenue is projected to jump from $7.2 billion in 2021 to $19.1 billion by 2026<\/strong><\/a>, with edge servers expected to handle half of all telecom workloads by the same year<\/a><\/strong>. In a world where every millisecond counts, legacy infrastructure just can\u2019t keep up.<\/p>\n

Why \u201cGood Enough\u201d Data Centers Are No Longer Good Enough<\/h3>\n

Edge hungry apps, AI models, and IoT sensors will push the edge data center market past $317 billion by 2026<\/strong><\/a>; that’s more than double its 2020 size. Yet most facilities serving that demand still live inside 1990s warehouses that were never meant to power 20 kW-plus racks or route traffic locally. Three cracks are already showing:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Latency kills revenue<\/strong>. Just 100 milliseconds of delay can reduce online conversions by 7 percent. When data has to travel across the country or even farther, it slows down interactive services like gaming, fintech, AI, and streaming.<\/li>\n
  2. Inefficiency drains budgets<\/strong>. The global average PUE is 1.56, meaning nearly half of all energy never reaches your IT hardware.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0Retrofitted cooling paths and mismatched power trains keep that number stubbornly high.<\/li>\n
  3. Power Density Is Maxed Out<\/strong>.\u00a0Modern AI and GPU-driven workloads require 30 to 100 kW per rack, but retrofitted data centers often top out at 4 to 6 kW. That leads to scattered deployments, higher costs, and wasted space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Our edge colocation data centers are not conversions or upgrades. They are purpose-built, Tier IV facilities<\/strong><\/a> created to meet the demands of today and tomorrow. From design to deployment, everything is built to perform at the highest level.<\/p>\n
