By offering infrastructure closer to the end user, we lower latency and positively impact the bandwidth challenges that have been created by increasingly important work-from-home demands related to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“Due to our expanding portfolio we are experiencing heightened leasing activity,” said Jason Bourg, Vice President of Revenue at EdgeMicro. “EdgeMicro’s ability to deliver reliable, repeatable, colocation and connectivity is paying off for both our business partners and the mutual customers we serve.”
