Though Winnipeg has a small population compared to other Canadian markets, it is well-positioned as a connectivity hub on the nation’s internet and long-haul fiber networks. Its location is also ideal for connecting Eastern and Western Canada or for acting as a low-cost edge destination for cloud and content deployment (as U.S. tier-two sites do). The retail, manufacturing, education and healthcare verticals have a strong presence in Canada’s fifth-largest data center market. Additionally, Winnipeg customers can interconnect with top cloud service providers colocated in WI1.
