“ W e believe in staying very local , providing local knowledge and a local customer touch ,” says Todd Coleman , the founder of eStruxture Data Centres . “ We don ’ t believe in being headquartered in different parts of the world and running the business from afar .” This is a key aspect of the operations of eStruxture , the data centre company he established in 2017 in Montreal . It ’ s an approach that ’ s served them well , as in the three years since then it ’ s grown to encompass six facilities in total , each serving specific requirements .
MTL-1 , the flagship site in downtown Montreal , is housed in the former Montreal Stock Exchange building . “ That is a connectivity and cloud-neutral hub , with 30,000 square feet and 5 MW of power ” Coleman explains . “ We have a lot of customer ecosystems here that require access to a large and diverse meet-me-room from a telecom carrier fibre perspective , but also rely on us to deliver significant amounts of power density .”
