Vancouver Data Centres

Why choose Vancouver data centres?

Strategic location for connecting to Western Canada and the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Vancouver has become a major destination for out-of-market cloud and content players seeking to establish a footprint in Western Canada. Our Vancouver colocation facility plugs customers into a well-positioned data centre market that historically has been stifled by high property prices.

Strategically located minutes from the CBD in nearby Burnaby, customers can choose from a broad range of network services among many local and international network service providers.

Equinix Vancouver is also ideal for the retail, cloud and technology sectors, as it houses important business ecosystems for cloud, enterprise and network providers. Similarly, our Kamloops IBX® data centre offers an alternative opportunity for large deployments that want to have a footprint in Vancouver or as part of a DR strategy.
