Competitive Landscape

Who it's for, who it's not for

DataBank is aimed at enterprises, technology companies, content providers, and organizations needing secure colocation, hybrid-cloud connectivity, interconnection, and scalable high-density infrastructure. [91atky] [gautk6]
It is not a natural fit for small customers seeking a simple self-service cloud account, consumer hosting, or fully standardized low-cost infrastructure without facility, network, or compliance requirements.
