Flexential Salt Lake City Downtown Data Center: 572 S Delong St Colocation Specs
Status: Operational | Location: 572 South Delong Street, Suite 100, Salt Lake City, UT 84104, Utah, United States
Project Overview
The Flexential Salt Lake City - Downtown Data Center (SLC04), located at 572 South Delong Street in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a premier enterprise colocation and network interconnection facility serving businesses, cloud providers, telecommunications carriers, and digital service operators across the Intermountain West. Spanning nearly 45,000 square feet, the facility functions as an important regional cloud and connectivity node, providing customers with scalable infrastructure for enterprise applications, hybrid cloud environments, disaster recovery, managed services, and other mission-critical workloads. Its strategic downtown location provides direct access to the region’s carrier hotel ecosystem, enabling customers to establish efficient connections with multiple telecommunications networks and connectivity providers. SLC04 features a high-performance 100 Gbps network backbone that can scale to 400 Gbps, providing substantial bandwidth for organizations managing data-intensive applications, cloud traffic, content delivery, and distributed enterprise environments. The facility is engineered to support high-density computing configurations of up to 1,500 watts per square foot, allowing customers to deploy increasingly powerful IT equipment while maintaining appropriate electrical and thermal infrastructure. Flexible deployment options include custom cabinets and private cages, enabling enterprises and service providers to tailor their physical infrastructure according to security, capacity, and operational requirements. The data center is also designed around stringent availability requirements, with 100% service-level agreement guarantees for power and network availability supporting customers with highly critical workloads. Its interconnection capabilities make the facility particularly valuable for organizations seeking direct access to cloud providers, carriers, internet networks, and other digital ecosystems without relying on distant connectivity hubs. The combination of high-density power capacity, scalable network infrastructure, carrier hotel connectivity, and flexible colocation configurations enables SLC04 to support both conventional enterprise deployments and increasingly demanding digital workloads. By providing resilient infrastructure within the Salt Lake City metropolitan market, the Flexential SLC04 facility strengthens regional access to cloud and network services while giving customers a scalable platform for business continuity, hybrid IT, and future computing requirements.
