Carrier-neutral data center provider and cloud marketplace in Hawaii, DRFortress, has added Cogent Communications to the connectivity portfolio at its Honolulu facility. As one of the world’s largest Internet network service providers, Cogent brings the total number of carriers and communication providers at the DRFortress data center in Hawaii to 23.
DRFortress claims to have the most network options available in Hawaii as a data center colocation provider, allowing clients to connect to any major network, Internet Service Provider (ISP), or content provider on the globe quickly and effortlessly. The addition of this Tier 1 optical IP network operator would further strengthen the robustness of this network ecosystem.
