“One IT has the ability to place clients in many data center locations, but Cologix is the only one around that was built leveraging Tier IV principles for concurrent maintainability with unique power redundancy, flexibility for cooling, security, and certifications that even the most cautious would feel comfortable with—combined with rates that are very reasonable.”
Jeremy Lumby
President, Minnesota VoIP
“The combination of both neutrality and a significant number of carriers is what makes network neutrality valuable. Cologix, in the 511 Building, is the only place in Minnesota with network neutrality and 80 carriers, while the nearest competition has less than a dozen networks, at most. This was a big factor in our choosing Cologix.”
