Switch — premium high-density colo with its own bar to clear.

Switch builds ultra-high-density hyperscale campuses to its own Tier 5 Platinum standard — a rating Switch defines rather than inherits from Uptime Institute's tier system. The campuses are landmarks: the Citadel in Reno and Las Vegas, the Pyramid in Grand Rapids, the Keep in Atlanta — all running on 100% renewable energy. For enterprises that want premium, dense, sustainably-powered colocation in the US, Switch is the high end of the conversation.

What Switch actually does.

Switch operates large hyperscale colocation campuses in the US, designed for very high power and cooling density and held to its own Tier 5 Platinum specification. This is premium space, not commodity racks — the value is the facility engineering, the power posture, and the sustainability story. For organizations with dense compute (HPC, AI, large enterprise) that want a flagship US facility on renewable power, the campus quality is the lead. Note the Tier 5 rating is Switch's own designation.

Capabilities · A short list

Hyperscale colocation Large-scale multi-tenant data center space on campuses purpose-built for enterprise and hyperscale tenants.
Ultra-high power density Designed to support dense compute — HPC and AI-class racks — where many commodity facilities run out of power and cooling headroom.
Tier 5 Platinum standard Switch's own facility rating, layered on top of conventional resilience criteria. A vendor-defined standard, not an Uptime Institute tier.
100% renewable energy Campuses powered by renewable energy — material for organizations with carbon and ESG commitments.
Flagship US campuses The Citadel (Reno, Las Vegas), Pyramid (Grand Rapids), and Keep (Atlanta) — large, recognizable facilities.

Who this fits.

Best Fit

Enterprise needing premium high-density colo

Dense compute — HPC, AI, large enterprise — that needs serious power and cooling headroom in a flagship US facility on renewable power.

Strong Fit

Sustainability-mandated buyers

If 100% renewable energy is a procurement or ESG requirement, Switch's power posture is a direct fit rather than an add-on.

Mixed Fit

Orgs that lead with interconnection density

If your priority is rich carrier and cloud interconnection over raw density, CoreSite's interconnection-led model may fit better. Worth comparing.

Less Likely

Mid-market needing small regional footprints

If you need a few racks across many secondary metros, hyperscale campuses are oversized. Brief a regional edge provider instead.
