El Segundo, CA – MOX Networks, LLC (“MOX”), a leading fiber-optic network specialist, and QTS Realty Trust, Inc (“QTS”), a leading provider of hybrid colocation and mega scale data center solutions, announced today a new partnership to enhance connectivity opportunities for carriers, enterprises, hyperscalers and wireless providers in the new QTS mega data center campus in Hillsboro, Oregon. MOX now offers critical access across the Pacific Northwest region and is colocating with QTS Hillsboro DC1, the first new QTS data center of its 200+ MW planned campus. Offering both dark fiber and lit data services, the newest MOX fiber route offers diversity from Hillsboro to Portland, with a planned extension up to Seattle. This new path enables QTS customers to avoid legacy exchange options in Portland and provides the opportunity to extend their connectivity up to the Westin Building Exchange in Seattle. The Hillsboro region has been nicknamed “Silicon Forest” for its growing prominence as a high-tech trans-Pacific data center connectivity hub to Asia. MOX’s new Hillsboro-Portland-Seattle route will enable QTS customers in Hillsboro to interconnect in Portland or bypass it completely, circumventing the long-haul transport and IP peering gateways in Portland, to achieve faster, more resilient network connectivity across the Pacific Northwest, with fiber available west to Asia or east across North America. “We are excited to offer our customers access to new and diverse MOX fiber solutions from our 100% renewable energy powered Hillsboro data center,” said Clint Heiden, Chief Revenue Officer, QTS. “MOX is a leader in developing customized, purpose-built solutions for large-bandwidth customers in high-growth markets, and our highly resilient data centers are built to support and facilitate new, robust connectivity demands.” The QTS mega scale data center campus in Hillsboro spans 88 acres with 200+ MW of current planned campus capacity. QTS Hillsboro DC1 includes 158,000 square feet, with 85,000 square feet of leasable capacity and 24 MW of gross power capacity.
