 Cologix has acquired two ted data centers in Iowa from Connect Des Moines. Financial terms were not disclosed.

  • DSM1 - Located downtown in the Financial Center building at 666 Walnut Street, DSM1 is 4,000 square feet and 600kW of power and enables connectivity to 26 unique networks in the Cologix Meet-Me-Room with direct access to the DesMoinesIX internet exchange. DSM1 also features an additional 10,000 square feet of expansion capacity with 1.0 MW of power.
  • DSM2 - The DSM2 digital edge data center is 12,500 square feet and 1.0 MW of power located in the Cedar Valley region of Cedar Falls, Iowa, which comprises six counties strategically located along key transportation routes and offers connections to domestic and international markets through Des Moines, Chicago, Omaha and Minneapolis, ensuring low latency routing options. This facility has expansion potential for an additional 10,000 square feet and is connected to DSM1 via a diverse fiber ring.

“As companies across all industries are increasingly reliant on digital infrastructure, the need for geographically dispersed and well-supported data centers is paramount,” added Ortman. “Our Des Moines facilities will provide businesses with the critical resources they need to scale their IT infrastructure, optimize performance and achieve their digital transformation goals.”
