Bandwidth IG provides dark fiber for CoreSite’s Santa Clara Data Center Campus
Metro dark fiber provider Bandwidth Infrastructure Group (Bandwidth IG) says it will provide dark fiber to CoreSite Realty Corp.’s (NYSE:COR) Santa Clara Data Center Campus, including the SV7 data center.
The CoreSite campus comprises eight operational data centers with over 775,000 square feet of colocation space. The campus offers low-latency access to more than 205 cloud, network, and IT service providers. The SV7 data center supports the digital transformation and hybrid and multi-cloud requirements of customers with increasingly interconnected data workloads, high performance needs, growing interoperability demands, and a need to be located near the network and cloud edge.

Performance applications need bandwidth and fiber provider choice for route diversity and vendor optionality,” commented Steve Smith, chief revenue officer at CoreSite. “The addition of Bandwidth IG provides our customers network choice for client performance applications and dark fiber access to a variety of end-points throughout Santa Clara.”
Bandwidth IG says its Data Center Connect service to the campus will create a secure, seamless, and always-on connection for CoreSite’s customers. “At Bandwidth IG, we are uniquely positioned to address the explosive demand that is building for new, scalable and reliable dark fiber solutions to support the growth of current and future data-intensive enterprises,” said Jim Nolte, CEO for Bandwidth IG. “We are thrilled to offer our services to support CoreSite’s customers in their demand for rich, diverse interconnectivity options.”
