Edge Centres expands its US footprint with a 5th completed acquisition in under 4 months, adding capacity and connectivity to the Edge Data Center platform
The acquisition sees Edge Centres add another facility to its rapidly expanding US footprint, and marks the closure of the companyโs 5th successful acquisition in under 4 months. This puts Edge Centres on track to establish a nationwide edge data center network in the US, acquiring 20 facilities in 3 years to create a global network of sites in the US, Australia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and beyond.
The newly-acquired 25,000 square foot site, located at 707 Wilshire Boulevard in downtown Los Angeles, has a capacity of 1 Megawatt across 250 racks and is currently operating at 82% occupancy. The facilityโs rich interconnection and strategic location gives Edge Centresโ customers access to a combined network capability of 400 GB per second in the Los Angeles area. With Edge Centresโ own dark fiber connecting 530 and 1 Wilshire, Edge Centres is able to support any customerโs requirement, domestic or international.
Jonathan Eaves, Edge Centres Founder & CEO, commented: โA year ago, Edge Centres opened its first PoP in the US to further support its Australian and Asian customers, as well as expand into the US. Over the last year, we worked very closely with the Multacom team. The experience has given us great confidence in their ability to support international, interstate, and local companies.
โEssentially, we liked what Multacom did so much that we knew theyโd make a perfect addition to the Edge Centres team. Itโs a fantastic opportunity to acquire a business that weโve worked with so closely over the last 12 months. The entire Multacom team will be onboarded and remain a part of the business going forward. Theyโre a vital resource, bringing experience, long-standing business relationships, and expertise to our growing team.โ
