Rogers Communications Inc.: OTT DC2 Data Center

Rogers OTT DC2 is a colocation / carrier facility operated by Rogers Communications (Carrier Services) located at 2934 Baseline Road, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada (K2H 0A1). It is one of three operated by Rogers in Ottawa, forming part of the “OTT”-DC portfolio which serves the national and regional needs of carriers, cloud service providers, and enterprises.

Strategically, OTT DC2 is housed in the Qualicum Centre complex (Basline Road, along with nearby buildings), offering proximity to Ottawa’s fibre infrastructure and government, research, and high-tech sectors. The building is part of a larger campus that enhances network density, redundancy, and carrier access. The facility benefits from modernization and upgrades following its acquisition by Regional Group (though the data centre operations remain by Rogers) as part of the Qualicum Centre property.
