westelcom networks: Syracuse Data Center

Located at 109 South Warren Street, Syracuse, New York 13202, the Westelcom Networks Syracuse Data Center serves as a strategic colocation and interconnection hub in Central New York. Having operated at this address since the late 1990s (circa 1998) and expanded its footprint in recent years, the facility offers customers a reliable, redundancy-rich environment in a lower-cost and lower-risk region compared to major metro hubs. 

 As a carrier-neutral colocation facility, it is connected to statewide and national fiber networks, enabling direct links to major cloud platforms and supporting clients that demand high uptime and strong connectivity

⚙️ Facility Highlights
