Zayo has increased revenue and EBITDA by 60 percent since 2014 acquisition; strong demand continues
BOULDER, Colo. – February 3, 2016 – Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ZAYO), today announced a significant expansion of its zColo Atlanta data center at 1100 White Street SW to meet the colocation needs of a major content provider. The expansion, which is expected to be completed in the second quarter, will enable colocation sales to an additional 11,000 square feet of space, with extensive interconnections to other data center facilities in the Atlanta area.
Zayo acquired the Atlanta data center in July 2014 and has experienced continued growth momentum in both cloud and colocation services to a wide range of industries, including healthcare, cloud, and technology. Both revenue and EBITDA in the facility have increased by 60 percent or more since acquisition. Inclusive of the expansion, Zayo expects to recognize a 30 percent or higher unlevered return on its investment.
The data center is an anchor facility for Zayo’s 2,300 route miles of dense fiber in place or under construction in the Atlanta area. The data center is cloud enabled and offers Zayo’s full suite of hybrid cloud infrastructure solutions. It also provides high-bandwidth interconnections to 56 Marietta and other major carrier hotels.
“Our data center is an ideal solution for this customer, which requires a fully redundant infrastructure combined with high bandwidth connectivity to key exchange points and data centers in the Atlanta market,” said Greg Friedman, executive vice president of colocation and cloud infrastructure at Zayo. “The customer win is another illustration of strong demand in the Atlanta market, and the unique ability for zColo to differentiate its data center solutions by leveraging the broader Zayo network capabilities.”
