EdgeConneX, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 2009, operates with approximately 250 employees, and specializes in data centre infrastructure. The company builds and operates purpose-built data centers.
EdgeConneX faced a setback on February 4, 2026, when local authorities in Ashville, Ohio, denied its request to annex land for a proposed 680-acre data center campus. The global data center developer had planned to construct the facility on two parcels located in the Village of Ashville and neighboring Harrison Township. This followed the company being honored on January 26, 2026, with the PTC'26 Outstanding Data Center Company Award. The award recognized EdgeConneX's excellence and leadership in data center design, infrastructure, and operations, celebrating its role in setting industry standards and delivering solutions for the evolving needs of the digital era.
