Edge Data Centers

Racks and power one hop from the exchange — for caches, game servers and latency-critical workloads.

Colocation at the network edge, built beside Peer1IX exchange points so your compute sits next to the networks that carry your users.

What you get

Rack and cage colocation

From a few rack units to full racks and private cages.

Redundant power

Dual power feeds with UPS and generator backup.

Direct exchange access

Short cross-connects to the Peer1IX fabric and members.

Secure facility

Access control, CCTV and logged entry.

Remote hands

Racking, cabling and troubleshooting on your behalf.

Cloud on-ramps

Private paths from your rack to cloud platforms.

Compute where the traffic turns around

Applications that care about latency — streaming, gaming, payments, real-time video — perform best when servers are close to users and directly connected to their ISPs. Peer1IX Edge Data Centers put your equipment one cross-connect away from the exchange.

Simple, predictable colocation

We offer rack-unit, rack and cage options with redundant power, secure access and remote hands, so you can deploy edge nodes across many cities without building your own facilities.

Typical uses

CDN and OTT caches
Multiplayer game servers
Fintech and trading latency-sensitive apps
IoT and video analytics processing
Regional DR and backup

Questions we hear often

What makes an edge data center different?

Location. An edge data center is placed close to users and access networks rather than in a single central campus, which reduces latency and backhaul cost.

Can I connect my rack to the exchange?

Yes. Racks in Peer1IX Edge Data Centers are a short cross-connect away from the exchange fabric.

Do you provide remote hands?

Yes, remote hands is available for routine tasks such as racking, cabling, power cycling and visual checks.
