Cologix operates seven discrete Toronto data centres at 151 Front Street West (TOR 1), Canada’s largest and most important carrier hotel. Cologix’s second Toronto data centre site at 905 King Street (TOR 2) is a state-of-the-art facility built using standards for concurrent maintainability for space, power, mechanical systems and security. The TOR 2 data centre can be utilized as a stand-alone, diverse bypass facility to the TOR 1 data centre, or can be leveraged as a natural extension with the diverse fibre ring connecting the two Toronto colocation data centres. By linking the two downtown Toronto data centres, Cologix customers have the benefits of both with unsurpassed levels of security, reliability and connectivity. Toronto is the largest metro market and central interconnection hub in Canada. In addition to carrier density, Toronto is a centre for financial services and a natural network point for cloud/hosting and large enterprise networks.
