We look forward to staying at the forefront of this trend and continuing to connect what's next with EdgeCore."  

In January, EdgeCore announced the groundbreaking of its Silicon Valley data center campus. Upon completion, the LEED-designed campus will support 72 MW of critical load across 540,000 square feet of space.
