DC BLOX
DC BLOX is the data centre provider with a difference . By connecting communities in the US south-east to the world , they are enabling massive economic growth
DC BLOX provides secure , reliable Tier III data centres and robust connectivity to businesses in growing markets , with a particular focus on the south-east of the United States .
Passionate about driving progress in communities where the foundational infrastructure for the digital economy is limited , CEO Jeff Uphues says that it has been a “ really exciting journey ” since they were founded eight years ago .
“ The whole premise behind us was to serve local mid-size markets that didn ' t have the critical infrastructure , like some of the bigger cities like LA or New York had done . We ' ve always been in the south-east and around the Atlanta market .”
Systematically putting in data centre after data centre throughout the south-east required purchasing more landed markets and then integrating them all together within a private , dark fibre or high-bandwidth connectivity solution .
This fabric of interconnected data centres is designed to “ serve locally and connect globally on behalf of our customers ”, adds Uphues , and the approach “ brings the market to major new levels of connectivity ”.
DC BLOX took a ‘ bottoms up ’ approach in first looking at the markets , size , and growth , as Uphues explained .
“ When you take the landscape around the south-east United States , you ' ve got some real growing cities here . You ' ve got Charlotte , Atlanta , Nashville ; other markets like Greenville and Charleston in South Carolina ,
