VPLS Acquires New Enterprise Data Center in Silicon Valley from Wave Broadband

VPLS, a cloud-to-edge computing and solutions provider, today announces its acquisition of a data center located in Santa Clara, California. The renamed “SV3” is a 30,000 square feet facility with 3 MW of power, 24/7/365 security staff, and cross-connects to major Bay Area network carriers. The SV3 data center currently has 1.5 MW of available capacity for colocation customers seeking reliable connectivity and uptime along with direct access to over 20 native carriers.

We are excited to continue the expansion of our global network with the addition of a data center strategically located in the heart of Silicon Valley. This latest investment in one of the most supply-constrained West Coast markets further solidifies VPLS’s commitment to invest in key markets where customers need us most.Jay Smith, Vice President and General Manager, Data Centers at VPLS
