DataVerge, a company featuring a 50,000 square foot colocation data center in Brooklyn, NY, with a rich ecosystem of over 30 carriers and network providers, has added Lightpath to its connectivity roster. Since network infrastructure has long been ignored in the vibrant Brooklyn area according to the companies, this strategic cooperation would aid both companies in expanding their presence there.
Founded in 2003, DataVerge owns and operates one of the largest carrier-neutral interconnection facilities in Brooklyn, New York. The colocation facility is located at Industry City in Sunset Park and is SOC 1 (SSAE18 Type 2) and PCI compliant.
DataVerge offers dedicated, private connection choices to hundreds of network, cloud, and IT service providers through its more than 50,000 square feet of colocation space. The newest of Lightpath’s several attempts to provide connectivity and provider choices for businesses and individuals in the Tri-State region is its expansion into Industry City.
“We are excited to partner with Lightpath to expand our reach, increase the number of service providers in our ecosystem, and better serve our family of customers,” said Ruben Magurdumov, COO and Cofounder of DataVerge. “The more flexibility we have in connecting to fiber networks and the more diversity we have in our provider ecosystem, the stronger and more prosperous the digital economy of the Brooklyn area becomes.”
Location: Industry City
Lightpath is a provider of telecom services in the New York metropolitan area with offices in Miami and Boston as well, offering businesses a wide range of solutions to meet their connectivity and communication needs.

Cross-connects from Lightpath to DataVerge’s Meet-Me Rooms (MMRs) would enhance and integrate both ecosystems. More than 13,500 service sites around the U.S. can connect to the Lightpath Network, which links at more than 75 data centers over a distance of more than 20,000 route miles of fiber.
“Lightpath is delighted to increase and enhance connectivity for tenants, customers and carriers, as well as support in-building connectivity services for the robust, mixed use space known as Industry City,” said Chris Morley, CEO at Lightpath. “Not only is this vibrant hub ideally located just outside of Manhattan, it is also a model ecosystem.”
