cloud and managed services in 60 data centers spread across 28 key markets in the U.S. and U.K. A second closing for the five data centers in France is expected in Q1 2021.
This announcement comes on the heels of DataBank s
strategic investment in EdgePresence, which accelerates DataBank s edge data center strategy by adding modular facilities to augment its traditional data center portfolio. These unique modular data centers provide the space, power and bandwidth to further reduce latency and improve performance for key applications.
Combined, these two transactions put DataBank at the forefront of the edge infrastructure wave, enabling enterprises, hyperscalers, cloud, content and software customers to move their mission-critical workloads and platforms closer to end-user populations in second-, third-, and fourth-tier markets.
