Exa Infrastructure has unveiled a new route connecting Ashburn and Atlanta to strengthen its presence in North America. According to CBRE’s North American Data Centre Trends Report for Q2 2023, Atlanta is emerging as an important data centre hub and the fastest growing data centre market in the United States. Data centre projects under construction in Atlanta grew by 211% between the first half of 20243 and the second half of 2023, and as the report notes, significant major campus developments are being drawn. The new report will follow the Appalachian foundation and will introduce “resilient and diverse” offerings from all existing options on this route. Exa will deploy the new DWDM Flex Ciena system to achieve optimal latency and optionality up to 400G.
