Timothy Doherty, Digital Fortress' Chief Operating Officer said, "The growth and technical requirements presented to us by PeakColo, while demanding and leading-edge for the typical datacenter, were accommodated in our standard operating model. We are excited to have PeakColo add Digital Fortress as a major PeakColo cloud services node."
