Project Overview

The Equinix DC13 Data Center is a 108,336-square-foot International Business Exchange (IBX) colocation facility at 21830 Uunet Way in Ashburn, Loudoun County, Virginia, providing approximately 12 MW of power capacity and serving as an important network interconnection site within the Northern Virginia data center market. Originally developed as Verizon's IAD1 facility before being acquired by Equinix, the single-story building provides approximately 75,000 square feet of raised-floor colocation space for enterprises, cloud providers, network operators and other organizations requiring highly connected digital infrastructure. Its location in Ashburn is a major strategic advantage because the area is one of the world's most concentrated data center and network interconnection markets, with extensive carrier infrastructure and direct connections to major regional facilities. DC13 is engineered to support dense enterprise, cloud and AI-related network traffic, where reliable power, carrier diversity and low-latency connectivity are increasingly important. The facility's 12 MW power capacity provides a substantial electrical foundation for its colocation operations, while the large raised-floor footprint allows customers to deploy networking, storage and computing equipment at scale. A defining characteristic of DC13 is its role as a network interconnect hub, linking customers to a broad ecosystem of telecommunications and cloud infrastructure throughout the Ashburn market. The facility also provides fiber connectivity toward global subsea backbone networks and central Ashburn carrier hotels, helping customers establish efficient routes between local computing environments and international destinations. This connectivity is particularly valuable for cloud platforms, content providers, financial services organizations and enterprises whose applications depend on rapid data movement between multiple locations. The facility's evolution from a legacy Verizon site into an Equinix IBX demonstrates how established telecommunications infrastructure can be integrated into modern carrier-neutral colocation environments. By combining 108,336 square feet of facility space, 75,000 square feet of raised-floor capacity, 12 MW of power and extensive fiber interconnection, Equinix DC13 provides a strategically positioned platform within Northern Virginia's digital infrastructure ecosystem. Its network-focused design enables customers to connect efficiently with carriers, cloud services and broader global infrastructure while supporting the continuing growth of enterprise, cloud and AI-driven data traffic.
