DataBank review & pricing
Our verdict
The US edge-colocation specialist: strong in secondary markets where latency to end-users matters, with unusually deep compliance credentials (FedRAMP, HIPAA, ITAR) and hands-on managed services. National hyperscale needs belong elsewhere; edge and compliance deployments are its sweet spot.
Overview
DataBank operates 65+ edge data centers across 27 US markets, offering colocation, interconnection, managed cloud/security (including compliance-heavy public sector work) and edge infrastructure.
Best for
- Edge deployments close to users (secondary markets)
- Public sector and compliance-heavy workloads (FedRAMP, ITAR)
- Enterprises wanting managed services attached to colo
Pros & cons
What we like
- 65+ US edge markets — reach where big colos don't bother
- Deep compliance portfolio (FedRAMP, HIPAA, ITAR, CMMC)
- Managed cloud/security/DR options on-site
- Responsive mid-market-style service model
What to watch
- US-only footprint
- Interconnection ecosystem smaller than Equinix metros
- Pricing quote-based; terms matter for TCO
