Colo Solutions, LLC: Colo Solutions Downtown Orlando

Colo Solutions Downtown Orlando is a commercial colocation and cloud services data center facility operated/marketed by Colo Solutions in Downtown Orlando, Florida. The facility’s published service address is 100 W. Lucerne Circle, Suite 201, Orlando, FL 32801, USA, which is also the address listed for the facility record in PeeringDB.

Colo Solutions positions this site as Orlando’s “original telecom hotel” / a carrier-neutral facility with extensive carrier access and cross-connect availability. These are operator claims and are partially corroborated by PeeringDB presence (networks, at least one carrier listing, and an exchange listing).

Audited/compliance claims (operator statements):

1. A dedicated “Audited Credentials” page states: SOC 1 (SSAE 16) Type II audited, HIPAA compliant, and PCI compliant.
2. The Colo Solutions homepage separately claims the data center is annually audited/certified in SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. This conflicts with the SOC 1 wording on the “Audited Credentials” page; the public sources do not provide the underlying reports to reconcile the discrepancy.

Facility-specific report documents, scopes, and report IDs are Not publicly disclosed.

🌐 Connectivity & Carrier Access

Facility directory evidence (PeeringDB):

1. Facility: “Colo Solutions Downtown Orlando” at 100 W. Lucerne Circle, Suite 201, Orlando, FL 32801.
2. Carrier listing present: AT&T US is listed under Carriers for the facility record.
3. Exchange listing present: DACS-IX South is listed under Local Exchanges for the facility record.
4. Networks present include Cogent, Uniti Fiber, and others (as listed in PeeringDB).

Operator-published carrier access claims (service page):

1. Colo Solutions states the facility houses facilities-based Orlando carriers including AT&T, Centurylink/Level3, Crown Castle Fiber, Verizon, and Spectrum Enterprise, accessible via cross-connect, and references a 365 Data Centers PoP in the facility.

Internet Exchange clarification (strict):

PeeringDB shows an exchange (DACS-IX South) listed at this facility, but there is no operator-published evidence that Colo Solutions itself operates an Internet Exchange as a service. Presence/hosting of an exchange platform does not automatically equal IX operation by the facility operator.
