Overview
PhoenixNAP is one of the most recognized names in Arizona colocation. Founded in 2009, the company has grown from a regional provider into a global infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) company with its flagship data center campus located in Phoenix, Arizona.
The PhoenixNAP facility spans over 150,000 square feet of data center space in the heart of the Phoenix metro area. The campus is purpose-built for high-density computing workloads and offers a comprehensive range of colocation options from single-server deployments to multi-rack cages and private suites.
