Pittsburgh, a former port city, has undergone a remarkable transformation, emerging as a global leader in technology, research, and education. It is home to the thriving Pittsburgh Innovation District, a hub of intellectual prowess encompassing prestigious institutions like the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University. These universities, alongside the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center and UPMC, are driving forces behind the city’s spirit of inventiveness and ingenuity. Beyond its burgeoning innovation landscape, Pittsburgh offers the advantage of a lower risk of natural disasters compared to the national average, coupled with the benefit of cost-effective commercial power. DataBank, with its nationwide service, provides comprehensive solutions for colocation, cloud services, and managed services to meet diverse customer demands. In Pittsburgh, DataBank clients have two state-of-the-art data center options: PIT1, strategically located downtown, and PIT2, nestled in Summit Park. Both facilities are engineered to deliver superior power, cooling, connectivity, and robust security controls. Notably, DataBank’s downtown PIT1 data center is situated within NOVA Place, a redeveloped mall now known as the Allegheny Technology Center. This prime location places PIT1 at the nexus of the crucial connectivity triangle formed by New York City, Ashburn, and New Hope, Virginia—all major public cloud nodes. As one of the most connected data center locations in the Pittsburgh area, PIT1 is the preferred choice for the region’s rapidly expanding university and research-driven high-performance computing clusters.
