H5 Data Centers has announced the planned extension of the IX-Denver peering exchange to its Denver data center campus. IX-Denver is a non-profit, neutral Internet exchange that provides access to more than 40 Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs). A member-driven and community-oriented exchange, the IX-Denver platform enables networks to simplify network management, increase route access, and reduce the costs of cross connections and IP transit.

H5 Data Centers owns a 300,000 sq-ft data center campus in the Denver Tech Center where it has recently invested more than $25 million on upgrades and expansions. The extension of IX-Denver significantly increases the number of potential networks that can access the exchange.

"Denver is a rapidly-growing interconnection market," said Josh Simms, CEO of H5 Data Centers. "The partnership with IX-Denver will enable more networks in Colorado to access a rich peering platform at port speeds of up to 100 Gbps from our two independent Tier III data centers. We look forward to supporting the broader IX community."

Denver Data Center Highlights:

• 300,000 sq-ft data center campus
• Two independent, concurrently-maintainable data centers
• Over fifteen (15) years of continuous uptime
• 24x7 on-site engineering and security teams
