teraswitch: SLC1 Data Center

The SLC1 data center operated by TeraSwitch is located in Salt Lake City, Utah — specifically housed within the DataBank SLC1 facility at 179 E Social Hall Ave, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. 

TeraSwitch uses the SLC1 location as part of their network-and-bare-metal platform, offering extensive connectivity, carrier-neutral access, and colocated infrastructure for clients who need high availability and network flexibility. 

What makes this site stand out is its position as a downtown Salt Lake City carrier‐hotel (via DataBank), combined with TeraSwitch’s focus on bare metal, connectivity, and high‐density deployments — enabling businesses to deploy compute and network infrastructure in a rich-interconnect environment.

⚙️ Facility Highlights

• Power / Redundancy: The underlying facility supports a critical IT load of ~0.5 MW with an N+1 power design.
• Cooling Architecture: Designed with N+1 cooling systems supporting densities of “10 kW+” per rack in the colocation infrastructure. 
• Scalability & Space: The DataBank SLC1 facility offers ~10,610 sq ft of raised floor space in the SLC1 location. 
• TeraSwitch’s use of the site means clients may benefit from flexible cabinet and bare‐metal deployments, and the network footprint in Salt Lake City.
• Support Services: TeraSwitch offers bare metal servers, high‐performance connectivity, and managed network services on top of the colocation footprint.
