Salt Lake City (SLC) is a growing data center market. A young technical work force has encouraged tech companies to set up shop in Utah. The Salt Lake MSA has 1.2 million people and the greater Salt Lake City–Provo–Orem CSA has 2.5 million people.
The largest data center companies have not yet invaded SLC and the market is dominated by Flexential (formerly Viawest) and DataBank (formerly C7 Data Centers)
Salt Lake’s reputation as a sleepy secondary market is changing with the recent announcement of new data center plans.
There is not a big Internet Exchange in SLC. The SLIX (Salt Lake City Internet Exchange) and DataBank’s SLX1 facility on 179 Social Hall Ave are the best options if many carrier options are required.
The next closest Interconnection market is Denver, followed by Silicon Valley and Los Angeles.
