Thrive CA Ottawa Kanata Edge Colocation Data Center

Status: Operational   |   Location: 436 Hazeldean Road, Unit 101, Kanata, Ottawa, ON K2L 1T9, Canada

Project Overview

Thrive CA Ottawa is an enterprise-grade edge colocation and managed cloud data center located in the Kanata technology hub of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The facility spans more than 34,500 square feet of high-density whitespace and is designed to support enterprise, government, technology, and regional business workloads requiring secure and resilient IT infrastructure. Its electrical and mechanical distribution architecture uses N+N redundancy, providing independent infrastructure paths designed to maintain operational continuity for critical systems, while N+1 backup diesel power provides an additional layer of resilience during utility interruptions. Originally constructed as the Granite Networks and GridWay facility, the site has evolved into part of Thrive's broader infrastructure and managed services environment, supporting customers across Eastern Ontario. The facility provides ultra-secure colocation options for organizations that require controlled physical infrastructure and reliable access to computing resources. Biometric security measures strengthen physical access controls and help protect customer equipment and critical IT environments. Beyond traditional colocation, the facility integrates with Thrive's NextGen managed services platform, enabling customers to combine hosted infrastructure with cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and hybrid cloud capabilities. This integrated approach allows enterprises to manage physical computing resources alongside cloud-based workloads, security operations, and business continuity requirements. Its location in Kanata provides proximity to Ottawa's established technology ecosystem and supports organizations operating within the region's government, telecommunications, software, and technology sectors. The facility's edge-oriented positioning also enables regional enterprises to deploy infrastructure closer to their users and operational locations while maintaining access to managed cloud and network services. By combining more than 34,500 square feet of high-density whitespace, redundant power and mechanical systems, backup generation, biometric security, colocation, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and hybrid cloud services, Thrive CA Ottawa provides a consolidated infrastructure platform for mission-critical workloads across Eastern Ontario.
