DC BLOX
DC BLOX is the data centre provider with a difference . By connecting communities in the US southeas 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 southeast 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 southeast and around the Atlanta market .”
Systematically putting in data centre after data centre throughout the southeast 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 southeast 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 ,
