VNA1 - 7990 Science Applications Court - Equinix

Located in the heart of Northern Virginia, the Equinix facility is just a few blocks from the original MAE-East peering point. The data center was initially a PAIX.net peering point, providing one of the first telco-independent facilities for carriers to peer in. Situated between Ashburn and DC, the data center has access to a wide range of metro and DWDM fiber. With 40,000 gallons of on-site fuel and 5 generators, there is ample capacity for up to 30 days of runtime without refueling.
