Enterprise-grade US colocation built for mission-critical uptime and rapid deployment
CyrusOne built its data center business by focusing on one thing: mission-critical uptime for Fortune 1000 enterprise customers. With 50+ data centers across the US, Europe, and Singapore, and a track record of 100% uptime SLA delivery, CyrusOne is the colocation provider that enterprise IT leaders choose when failure is genuinely not an option. Their 'Massively Modular' data center design enables rapid capacity additions in 90 days — unlike the 18-24 month build cycles of traditional facility construction.
CyrusOne (privately held since KKR and Global Infrastructure Partners acquisition in 2022) operates 50+ enterprise data centers across North America, Europe, and Asia, with a strong concentration in US financial services hubs (Dallas, Cincinnati, Northern Virginia, Phoenix, Chicago).

CyrusOne targets Fortune 1000 enterprise customers and hyperscalers with dedicated colocation suites, wholesale power blocks, and hyperscale build-to-suit facilities.
