and significantly reduced data transfer costs.

With this expansion, CoreSite customers have private access to all
commercial AWS Regions in the United States across all eight CoreSite

Connect through a cross connection or through high-performance,
SLA-backed virtual connections via the CoreSite Open Cloud Exchange. AWS
