Cologix Opens Third Data Center In Downtown Minneapolis
Enterprise-grade facility within the most important interconnection hub in the region.
Enterprises in the Upper Midwest, along with the network and cloud service providers eager to serve them, now have access to a new, state-of-the-art data center in downtown Minneapolis from Cologix, the market’s leading provider. Cologix™, a network neutral interconnection and data center company, has announced that the first phase of its 28K SQF “MIN3” data center, located in the 511 11th Avenue carrier hotel, has successfully passed a rigorous commissioning test and is ready for service.
Cologix’s MIN3 data center is a unique enterprise-grade facility, strategically located in downtown Minneapolis, with direct access to more network service providers via Cologix’s Meet-Me-Room than any other data center in the Upper Midwest. The facility is in the process of receiving Tier III certification by the Uptime Institute and is already approved for the State of Minnesota’s sales tax incentive program, whereby customers deploying qualifying new equipment or software in the data center are eligible for a sales tax rebate on those purchases. The site operates under the same controls that have already been certified under SOC2 Type2 (SSAE16) standards.
