Welcome Packet to Our Silicon Valley High Density Data and Compute Center
CentralColo is proud to welcome Packet’s bare metal cloud to its high density Silicon Valley data center.
Packet was searching for a location in Silicon Valley as part of its 2016 global expansion effort. “Packet’s bare metal cloud is targeted at developers who value both high performance and automation – which we deliver on through a very dense physical footprint.” said Zachary Smith, Packet’s CEO. “Working with CentralColo, we were able to secure cost effective Pay Per Use data center model to support our density requirements – and we were thrilled with CentralColo’s outstanding service throughout the evaluation process. This made the choice for our West Coast facility a no-brainer.”
CentralColo’s investment in its high density data and compute center has enabled the company to attract firms both within Silicon Valley and beyond that require robust, redundant power and cooling.
