HERNDON, VA — (Marketwired) — 08/31/17 — , specializing in global data center solutions at the edge of the network, today announces a new partnership with , an organization dedicated to improving interconnectivity and reducing cost between networks, and its new Atlanta-based Internet Exchange, to build a connectivity node into EdgeConneX–s . Located just outside of downtown Atlanta, the 29,800-square-foot EDC was purpose built to provide customers with a secure colocation facility capable of delivering content and applications to local-market consumers with the lowest possible latency.
