About East Kentucky Network Data Center

East Kentucky Network Data Center in Ivel, Kentucky is a 16,700-square-foot facility supporting enterprise data storage, colocation, and fiber-backed connectivity for Appalachia and beyond. The facility is operated by EKN, also known as East Kentucky Network, and is positioned as a secure storage and network access site for business systems, backup infrastructure, application hosting, and regional transport requirements. The user-provided “Chicago Data Center” label maps to EKN’s transport connectivity to Chicago rather than a verified Chicago-based EKN facility.

The data center includes redundant power sources, environmental controls, and transport capabilities to hub locations in Chicago, Ashburn, and Atlanta. EKN’s network includes more than 7,500 combined fiber miles and a 400-mile redundant fiber ring, giving the facility regional reach across Eastern Kentucky with backbone connectivity into major Internet and colocation markets. The facility is listed in PeeringDB at 271 Technology Trail, Ivel, KY 41642.

EKN’s Ivel facility serves businesses that need Appalachian fiber access with connectivity to larger peering and colocation hubs. Chicago is a key network destination for the platform, supporting transport to major Internet exchange and carrier hotel ecosystems. The facility is best positioned as a regional colocation and data storage site with long-haul connectivity into Chicago and Ashburn, not as a physical Chicago data center.
