Case Study

Minnesota VoIP

Voice Services Case Study

Instead of investing heavily in last mile infrastructure, Minnesota VoIP capitalized on data center services to cost-effectively expand their customer & network reach

Challenges

  • Business growth support through extensive cross-connectivity & scalable space
  • Higher levels of power infrastructure redundancy
  • Sophisticated operating policies without losing local touch
  • 100% uptime necessity with basic security
  • Hands-on, knowledgeable data center staff
  • Seamless integration with existing equipment
  • Downtown Minneapolis location
  • Midwest Internet Cooperative Exchange (MICE) access

The combination of both neutrality and a significant number of carriers is what makes network neutrality valuable. Cologix in the 511 Building is the only place in Minnesota with network neutrality and 80 carriers, while the nearest competition has less than a dozen networks, at most. This was a big factor in our choosing Cologix.
