Jan. 15, 2002 eXchange Colocation has completed a major expansion of its neutral colocation facility in San Francisco, the company said this week.
eXchange has added more than 39,000 square feet of Internet data center space in the carrier hotel at 200 Paul Avenue, which is operated by its sister company, Wave Exchange. The expansion gives eXchange 69,000 square feet of finished space at the 420,000 square foot Paul Avenue facility.
The company will launch the expansion with an open house Thursday (Jan. 17) from 4 to 7 p.m.
eXchange will use the additional space to sell its "e-location" outsourcing services to business customers. The San Francisco facility offers e-locators the ability to obtain a presence at a gateway to Asia/Pacific and the rest of the U.S., according to eXchange
Connectivity is a major strength for the 200 Paul site. In October, eXchange signed deals with PAIX.net and Sigma Networks to enhance interconnections at the 200 Paul facility. Carriers and service providers with a presence at the site include Cogent Communications, Level 3, Worldcom, MFN, Pacific Bell/SBC, Qwest, RCN, Sigma Networks, Telseon, Time Warner, Universal Access and Williams Communications, among others.
eXchange Colocation and Wave Exchange are both part of the U.K.-based Somerston Group of companies.
