ManagedWay: Southfield SFJ1 Data Center
About Southfield SFJ1 Data Center
ManagedWay’s Southfield SFJ1 facility is located at 24700 Northwestern Highway, Southfield, Michigan, in the Detroit metro area. Operated by ManagedWay, the SFJ1 site plays a key role in the Michigan colocation and cloud infrastructure landscape by providing a local, high-connectivity hub for enterprises in Detroit, Ann Arbor, and southeastern Michigan. Its positioning near major highways (M-10, M-39, M-24) ensures easy accessibility, and its proximity to other data centers and network nodes in the Detroit region helps strengthen redundancy and peering options.
Because it’s part of ManagedWay’s Michigan footprint, SFJ1 benefits from the operator’s broader infrastructure, support systems, and carrier relationships. ManagedWay markets its colocation and data services across multiple facilities in Michigan.
