Status: Operational (Recent AI-Expansion Phase) | Location: 2828 Natal Street, Vancouver
The VAN3 facility’s latest expansion underscores Vancouver’s emergence as a critical crossroads between North America and Asia-Pacific networks. By enhancing its interconnection density and upgrading meet-me-room capacity, Cologix has positioned VAN3 to handle significantly higher volumes of latency-sensitive traffic, particularly from AI inference platforms, financial trading systems, and real-time content delivery networks. The integration of additional cloud onramps, including expanded AWS Direct Connect and Google Cloud Interconnect access, enables enterprises to build hybrid and multi-cloud architectures with minimal latency and greater redundancy.
A key highlight of the modernization phase is the investment in seismic resiliency, a crucial requirement given Vancouver’s location in Seismic Zone 4. Structural reinforcements, coupled with modular power infrastructure, ensure operational continuity even under extreme conditions. At the same time, VAN3 maintains strong sustainability credentials, leveraging British Columbia’s predominantly hydroelectric power grid to achieve a low PUE target of 1.30 while keeping carbon emissions minimal.
As data sovereignty, edge computing, and AI-driven workloads continue to reshape infrastructure demand, VAN3 is well-positioned to serve as a scalable, future-ready hub for enterprises and carriers seeking reliable, high-performance connectivity in the Pacific Northwest.
