Bandwidth Infrastructure Group (Bandwidth IG) is increasing connectivity capabilities for the data centre-rich San Francisco Bay Area with the expansion of its dark fibre network.
The addition of a third fully diverse route provides critical fibre infrastructure from Santa Clara in the San Francisco Bay Area to the Great Oaks area of San Jose. The newest route delivers much-needed dark-fibre access to enterprises and data centres in one of the most dynamic markets in the world.
Approximately 300 MW of additional data centre capacity is under development in the Silicon Valley market, according to Cushman & Wakefield. The growth demonstrates the immense need for reliable infrastructure to connect compute locations, cloud providers and network operators across the market.
Bandwidth IG’s expanded network gives hyperscalers, enterprises and network operators access to newly built, 100% underground and high-count dark fibre between data centres or from data centres to enterprises.
“With this expansion that connects Santa Clara to San Jose, Bandwidth IG becomes the go-to dark fibre provider with three fully diverse routes between Santa Clara and the Great Oaks area of San Jose,” said Bruce Garrison, CEO of Bandwidth IG. “Santa Clara to Great Oaks is one of the most data-centric routes in Silicon Valley. We realised the imperative need of having multiple routes to keep up with demand and to provide true network optionality in the region.”
