EdgeConneX SLC01 Data Center West Valley City: Edge Colocation Utah
Status: Operational | Location: 2302 South Presidents Drive (Lincoln Building), West Valley City, UT 84120, Utah, United States
Project Overview
The 2302 South Presidents Drive Data Center in West Valley City is a strategic edge colocation and network interconnection facility serving the Salt Lake City metropolitan area and surrounding Intermountain West markets. The site operates as a regional digital infrastructure hub, with EdgeConneX designating the facility as SLC01 and regional connectivity provider Voonami operating it as SLC2, providing customers with access to flexible colocation and network services. The facility is engineered to support low-latency cloud computing, content distribution, enterprise applications, telecommunications, and other workloads requiring reliable regional infrastructure and high-performance connectivity. Its strategic location within approximately five miles of downtown Salt Lake City and around three miles from Salt Lake City International Airport provides convenient access to the region’s commercial, technology, transportation, and telecommunications ecosystems. The facility is designed to accommodate high-density deployments through substantial power delivery capabilities, allowing customers to support increasingly demanding computing environments while maintaining scalable infrastructure. A carrier-neutral connectivity architecture enables tenants to establish cross-connects with multiple network providers, helping improve route diversity and providing flexibility when designing their connectivity environments. Direct cloud-on-ramp capabilities further enhance the facility’s value for enterprises and service providers seeking efficient connections to major cloud platforms without routing traffic through distant metropolitan hubs. This connectivity environment supports applications such as hybrid cloud deployments, content delivery, disaster recovery, enterprise networking, and distributed digital services that depend on low latency and reliable network performance. The facility’s positioning within the Salt Lake City market also allows it to function as an important regional aggregation point between local enterprises, telecommunications networks, cloud infrastructure, and broader national fiber routes. By combining strategic geographic positioning, high-density power infrastructure, carrier-neutral interconnection, and direct cloud connectivity, the 2302 South Presidents Drive facility provides a flexible platform for enterprises, carriers, cloud providers, and content companies seeking resilient digital infrastructure in Utah. Its edge-oriented architecture reflects the growing demand for distributed data center capacity closer to end users and regional business markets.
