QuadraNet: Chicago Data Center

The QuadraNet Chicago Data Center, located at 1905 Lunt Avenue, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, is a major colocation / network hub serving the greater Chicago metro region. Because Chicago is one of the largest U.S. interconnection markets (home to major financial exchanges and dense network ecosystems), this facility leverages its suburban location to deliver lower-cost land and power while still offering strong connectivity to downtown. 

The facility is marketed as carrier-neutral with fully redundant power and network paths, and it holds multiple compliance certifications like SOC, ISO 27001, PCI, and others.This enables QuadraNet to serve enterprises, cloud providers, content, and compliance-sensitive workloads across the Midwest and beyond.
