About PIT1 - Downtown Pittsburgh Data Center
Pittsburgh, known as a port city, has transformed into a world-class hub for technology, research, and education. It is home to the Pittsburgh Innovation District, which includes prestigious institutions like the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. These institutions, along with the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and UPMC, drive inventiveness and ingenuity in the area.
In addition to its thriving innovation scene, Pittsburgh boasts a low risk of natural disasters compared to the national average. The city also offers cost-effective commercial power. With a local service that extends nationwide, DataBank provides a variety of options to meet the demand for colocation, cloud solutions, and managed services.
DataBank customers in Pittsburgh have two choices: PIT1, located in downtown Pittsburgh, and PIT2, situated in Summit Park. Both data centers offer top-of-the-line power, cooling, connectivity, and security controls.
DataBank's downtown PIT1 data center is located inside NOVA Place, a renovated mall known as the Allegheny Technology Center. This facility sits at the heart of the connectivity triangle formed by New York City, Ashburn, and New Hope Virginia - major public cloud nodes. As one of the most connected data center locations in the Pittsburgh area, PIT1 is the premier choice for the region's rapidly expanding university and research-driven high-performance computing clusters.
