STOCKHOLM, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Arelion today announced it has deployed a new Point-of-Presence (PoP) at OpenColo’s Santa Clara site, enabling diverse connectivity that supports both enterprises and wholesale operators. This PoP gives OpenColo’s customers access to Arelion’s #1 ranked IP backbone via high-capacity cross-connects and its full ecosystem of content, cloud and AI providers. The network expansion supports customers in the AI and cloud infrastructure sectors, enabling low-latency service delivery as enterprises increasingly deploy bandwidth-intensive applications critical to innovation and growth in Silicon Valley.
OpenColo has over 20 years of experience providing colocation, hosting and cloud services to customers, with its Santa Clara site featuring 71,000 square feet and 2N power redundancy. As a major tech hub in Silicon Valley, Santa Clara has more standalone data centers than any other city in California, totaling 55 in operation and three in the pipeline. Much of this data center development has been driven by AI services, with the enterprise AI market projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9 percent, reaching $229.3 billion by 2030. This Arelion PoP will support low-latency access for AI training and inference workloads through scalable 400G Wavelengths, Ethernet, Cloud Connect, IP Transit, Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), DDoS Mitigation and other services.
