"Our customers trust us because they require reliable space and power with dense connectivity to support their applications. Many of our customers are also increasingly interested in either providing cloud services or consuming cloud services on some level," explained Grant van Rooyen, Chief Executive, Cologix, "We partner with best in breed technology providers like Appcore because we do not want to compete with our customers and our belief is that our customers are best served by focusing on what we do best."

The partnership allows Cologix customers to enhance the benefits of dense connectivity via their Meet-Me-Rooms with streamlined access to Appcore’s turnkey solution, which enables unparalleled speed to market for public facing or private cloud deployments.
