On average, Minneapolis colocation customers save 20-50% on their network bill when choosing Cologix Minneapolis data centers versus other network neutral facilities in the greater Minneapolis metro area.
In addition to the robust network ecosystem including national, regional and local networks, the Minneapolis colocation facility supports emerging cloud, financial, education and government platforms.
We are excited to announce that AWS Direct Connect is now available through Cologix in Minneapolis. Customers can now utilize the lowest latency onramp to AWS via an AWS Direct Connect node located in our Minneapolis data center. With AWS Direct Connect, customers can connect their infrastructure via a secure and private connection to the AWS Cloud to improve performance and reduce costs compared to onramps via the public Internet.
