Overview

Since it was founded in 2009, Edgeconnex has grown from a niche provider of last mile server cabinet services for the US telecoms industry to one of the largest edge and hyperscale data centre operators in the world.

Edgeconnex moved into data centre development in 2013 with the backing of Providence Equity Partners and its first international expansion into Europe was made in 2016 in Schiphol, Amsterdam, with EDCAMS01 which has now expanded to become the single largest colocation campus in the netherlands with 63MW live IT power.

Following Europe, Edgeconnex expanded into South America in Santiago and Buenos Aires. The company now has 44 data centres across the US, Canada, Chile, Argentina, Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. To date, the company has 160MW total live IT power and almost the same again either under construction or in phased capacity.

In November 2020, Edgeconnex was acquired by Swedish infrastructure fund EQT for an undisclosed sum that was rumoured to be in the region of USD $2.7 billion.
