Our Toronto location delivers two key elements of a telco hotel data center space: proximity to cross connections and internet exchanges. Located in the Toronto Star building, our always-on Data Center facility is minutes away from Billy Bishop Airport, a short walk from Union Station and it offers easy access to major highways in and out of Toronto.
Our network is assembled using a mix of providers and we peer directly with the Toronto Internet Exchange (TorIX). With over 230 peers connected, TorIX members have access to direct routes from many different partners. Using TorIX allows for a reliable exchange of traffic with increased routing control and improved performance.
