The tech landscape in the San Francisco Bay Area is facing a unique challenge. While Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovation is advancing, the physical infrastructure required to power it is hitting a wall. Legacy fiber networks are increasingly “tapped out,” and data center vacancy rates have plummeted to record lows, leaving many organizations struggling to find the high-capacity connectivity they need to scale.
To address this infrastructure gap, BIG Fiber recently reached a major milestone. The company announced the completion of a strategic 6,000-foot buildout into CoreSite’s SV1, located at 55 S. Market Street in downtown San Jose. This expansion represents the final piece of BIG Fiber’s strategic footprint in San Jose. For businesses operating in this dense urban hub, it offers a modern, dark fiber alternative to the congested legacy systems of the past.
“Our latest expansion is the final piece of the puzzle for our San Jose footprint. In dense environments like downtown San Jose, achieving true route diversity is an engineering challenge. By investing in this new infrastructure, we provide our customers with paths that bypass the congestion of legacy networks. We’re fully committed to providing more options for our customers to access new networks critical for AI workloads in one of the most dynamic data center markets in the world.” – Patton Lochridge, CCO at BIG Fiber.
To ensure maximum reliability for mission-critical workloads, BIG Fiber is even implementing a second entrance into the SV1 facility. This provides true physical path diversity, which is essential for hyperscale and enterprise customers who cannot afford a single point of failure.
A Stronger Bay Area Backbone
With this latest addition, BIG Fiber has solidified its presence across the region’s most important carrier hotels, including 200 Paul in San Francisco, and 1100 Space Park Drive, 2820 Northwestern and the Great Oaks campus in San Jose,.
