Pixel Factory Data Center Ashland Atlee Commons Drive Richmond Virginia Colocation

Status: Operational / Active Colocation Facility   |   Location: 9680 Atlee Commons Dr, Ashland, VA 23005, United States

Project Overview

The Pixel Factory Data Center, located at 9680 Atlee Commons Drive in Ashland, Virginia, represents a high-reliability carrier-neutral colocation and edge computing facility serving Hanover County and the broader Greater Richmond digital infrastructure ecosystem. Strategically positioned outside the congested Northern Virginia data center corridor, the approximately 6,000-square-foot facility is designed to support enterprise IT, hybrid cloud, edge computing, and high-density colocation requirements, providing approximately 3 MW of gross utility power capacity and 2.4 MW of critical IT power allocation across secure business suites, private cages, and high-density rack environments. Its electrical infrastructure incorporates dual utility feeds from Dominion Energy, supported by static N+1 uninterruptible power supply systems and dedicated emergency diesel generators to maintain operational continuity during utility disruptions. Thermal management is provided through N+1 precision cooling systems and closed-loop environmental controls engineered to maintain stable conditions for high-density computing and networking equipment. As an interconnection-focused facility, Pixel Factory provides access to an on-site DE-CIX Internet Exchange point, enabling efficient traffic exchange between participating networks and digital service providers. The facility also supports direct cloud connectivity options to major platforms, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, alongside dual carrier-neutral meet-me rooms, subterranean fiber vaults, and diverse telecommunications pathways. Multi-homed Tier-1 IP transit connectivity further strengthens network redundancy and performance for latency-sensitive workloads. Physical security incorporates controlled access, biometric authentication, surveillance systems, and SOC 2 Type II-aligned security practices. Through its carrier-neutral architecture, resilient infrastructure, cloud connectivity, and strategic Ashland location, Pixel Factory provides enterprises with an alternative regional deployment environment outside Northern Virginia while maintaining access to major cloud and telecommunications ecosystems.
