MARKET OVERVIEW

Network-Dense, Cloud-Connected Data Centers in Chicago, Illinois

Home to companies of all sizes and industries, Chicago is an optimal market for carriers, cloud service providers, IT services providers and enterprises. CoreSite’s CH1 and CH2 data centers are located downtown, right in the middle of the digital ecosystem.

Our network-dense, cloud-connected data center campus enables accelerating IT modernization, ensuring compliance and reducing total cost of operation. 

CH2 is certified as part of the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program, providing the power and cooling needed to host scalable, high-performance infrastructure for organizations looking to capitalize on rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and other high-density applications.

CoreSite CH1 is built to withstand 125 mph winds, and three underground utility feeds from ComEd’s high-reliability downtown electrical grid assure always-on connectivity. CH2 is the first purpose-built, greenfield data center in Chicago where customers can be eligible for 10.25% savings on equipment and software through the Illinois sales tax exemption program.
