Cogeco Data Services says its new 100,000-square-foot data center on the island of Montreal is scheduled to launch this coming spring. The new facility, currently under construction and designed to Tier 3 standards, is intended to provide customers in Montreal and the surrounding area with access to colocation, managed IT and cloud business services.
The facility will also complement the 1,500 route kilometers of fiber-optic cable Cogeco Data Services already owns and operates on the island.
Upon completion, the facility will be Cogeco Data Services' fifth data center and will bring the company's total data center capacity to more than 200,000 square feet. The company currently operates three facilities in the greater Toronto area and one in Barrie, Ontario.
