Cogent Data Center Orlando 2MW Colocation Facility

Status: Operational   |   Location: 17401 Wewahootee Rd, Orlando, FL 32832, USA

Project Overview

The Cogent Data Center in Orlando, located at 17401 Wewahootee Road in Orlando, Florida, is a telecommunications infrastructure and colocation facility positioned near Orlando International Airport and designed to support enterprises, network operators, media companies, financial services organizations, and technology businesses across Central Florida. The facility functions as a strategic node within Cogent’s broader network infrastructure, providing customers with access to high-availability hosting environments and Cogent’s multinational Tier 1 optical IP network. Its colocation environment offers flexible white-space configurations, including standard full racks, partial cabinets, and custom secure private cages, allowing organizations to select deployment options according to their equipment, security, and space requirements. Full racks can accommodate larger enterprise and network deployments, while partial cabinets provide a more compact solution for customers with smaller infrastructure footprints. Private cages offer additional physical separation and controlled access for organizations hosting sensitive or mission-critical equipment. The facility’s electrical infrastructure is designed around redundant utility distribution paths supplied through dual substation feeds from Orlando Utilities Commission, reducing dependence on a single electrical source and improving operational resilience. Modular N+1 uninterruptible power supply configurations provide additional protection against power interruptions and equipment failures, while standby diesel emergency generators provide backup power during extended utility outages. Rapid refueling service contracts further support emergency power readiness by enabling generator operation during prolonged disruptions. Network connectivity is a central component of the facility’s role. The data center is directly integrated into Cogent’s dense fiber-optic network rings across Central Florida, providing customers with access to high-speed connectivity and multiple regional network pathways. Available services include high-speed unmetered bandwidth, dark fiber cross-connects, and low-latency IP transit, supporting organizations that require continuous data transfer and reliable access to domestic and international networks. The facility’s proximity to Orlando International Airport also provides a strategically located infrastructure base for businesses with regional and national operations. Its connectivity capabilities are particularly relevant to media distribution networks handling large volumes of digital content, financial services companies requiring dependable network performance, and enterprise software platforms supporting distributed users and applications. By combining flexible colocation configurations, redundant power infrastructure, emergency generation, dense fiber connectivity, dark fiber access, and Tier 1 IP transit, the Cogent Orlando facility provides an integrated environment for hosting and connecting business-critical IT infrastructure. Overall, the facility represents an important telecommunications and colocation asset in Central Florida, supporting enterprise workloads, digital media, financial services, software platforms, and network-intensive applications through resilient infrastructure and high-speed connectivity.
