A vital component of any network architecture is where the main interconnection nodes are located. This is critical for providing access to the greatest number of carrier, service provider and enterprise network options. With this access any network has the ability to attain the lowest cost per bit and highest quality combination. In some markets there may only be one choice and in others there may be several. Knowing the right ones and where they are is the difference between building a great network and actually getting the best possible use out of it. Here we have collected some of the best colocation, data center and network interconnection facilities in America by market/region.
