Seamless Global Colocation Assures GPU Cloud Performance and Scalability

Paperspace began building its cloud in earnest upon its founding 2014, but the small team was just getting started and couldn’t sufficiently balance meeting immediate growth needs and planning longer-term scaling. Help came quickly in the form of COLOpeople, a managed IT services company specializing in colocation, data center selection, and migration services for startups and growing companies like Paperspace.

COLOpeople prides itself on keeping up to date on all things data center, including the skills and capabilities of each provider, common cost structures, and even the frequency or severity of outages and other interruptions. With years of experience in matching emerging businesses with the right data center partners, COLOpeople went immediately to work connecting Paperspace with full-service data center partners. The team selected CoreSite’s NY2 data center to host its North American operations and mirrored its U.S. deployment in Europe at Interxion’s Amsterdam facility as part of a strategic alliance between the two data center providers.

The Challenge

• Building a global network of high-density, scalable data centers
• Finding cost effective colocation space with power and cooling to support resource-intensive computing
• Reducing network latency for improved service to customers and better end user experiences

The Solution

• Building a multi-facility, multi-continent network footprint using services from Interxion in Europe and CoreSite in North America

Like CoreSite, Interxion is a premium provider that’s eminently capable of keeping pace with GPU cloud’s performance and connectivity requirements, and Paperspace’s need for easy scalability. What’s more, CoreSite and Interxion have an informal partnership that lets them meet customers’ global needs consistently and seamlessly.
