Chicago’s central location within the United States makes it a favorable choice for businesses that need to reach multiple markets across North America. As a major financial hub in the US, Chicago is home to three major exchanges: the Chicago Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Companies in the financial sector find colocation in Chicago especially useful, as they can easily access low-latency connections for high-frequency trading and other financial applications.
NetActuate’s new Chicago location is a part of a network of data centers that is home to nearly 900 companies and close to 200 providers, providing many opportunities for interconnection. Chicago is also a great option for disaster recovery and redundancy, because of its relatively moderate climate conditions that generally avoid extreme temperatures, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters.
NetActuate maintains a robust footprint in this critical market with 21 data centers across the United States and Canada.
Chicago is a central hub in North America’s fiber and financial networks, offering low-latency connectivity to both coasts. It’s ideal for latency-sensitive workloads, financial trading, and enterprises needing strong Midwest and national reach.
Chicago has a stable environment with minimal risk from hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires. While winters are cold, modern data centers leverage efficient climate controls and infrastructure hardened for extreme temperatures.
Yes. Illinois hosts over 80 data centers, with the majority in the Chicago metro area. Its central location, strong infrastructure, and major network exchange points make it a top-tier choice for colocation and bare metal hosting.
