Today’s rapid growth of consumer and commercial Internet applications and the explosive adoption of online music and video content is driving a rapid increase in Internet traffic volumes. This traffic runs over infrastructure that needs to be housed and connected in physical data centers. Our broad footprint of secure, well-interconnected facilities are perfect places for web-centric companies to locate their content and interconnect their networks.

Industry analysts expect Internet traffic to nearly quadruple by 2011. This growth creates strong demand for data center and Internet exchange services. Switch and Data is investing to build sites to provide the space, power and security to connect the Internet of the future.
