Hudson Interxchange

What Hudson Interxchange does

Hudson Interxchange (Hudson IX) operates a carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection facility at 60 Hudson Street in Lower Manhattan, one of the world's densest carrier hotels. The company delivers retail and wholesale colocation across approximately 120,000 square feet (expanding to nearly 173,000 sq ft by end of 2025 and with optionality to roughly 240,000 sq ft), supported by 15MW of power capacity, proprietary MicroGryd power distribution technology with a 1.43 PUE rating, N+1 redundant cooling, and zero cross-connect fees for direct in-suite connections. The facility connects to 300+ global carriers and exchanges, sits in proximity to transatlantic undersea cable landings, and serves customers ranging from single-cabinet retail deployments to 5MW wholesale build-to-suit configurations.

The product portfolio spans retail and wholesale colocation, turn-key (1,000 kW) and built-to-suit deployments, cloud on-ramp services, and managed services delivered through a partner ecosystem. Operational and customer-facing workflows are consolidated on the Carma Network and Digital Infrastructure (NDI) Platform, which integrates power management, MMR cross-connect provisioning, ticketing, and billing. Recent product additions include DDC Solutions S-Series V4 liquid-to-the-chip cooling (15 kW to 600+ kW per cabinet) for AI and HPC workloads, and integration with Cato Digital's bare-metal GPU platform to serve AI startups such as Neu.ro. Pricing is quote-based and structured around multi-year subscription contracts.

Hudson IX is privately held and was acquired by Cordiant Digital Infrastructure in January 2022 for $74 million, with an additional $75 million in committed expansion capital. The company is led by CEO Atul Roy (also an executive member at Cordiant), CTO Arthur Valhuerdi, and VP of Design & Construction Sander Gjokaj. Distribution is split between an enterprise field-sales motion targeting financial institutions, cloud providers, and other colocation operators, and a channel partner network that includes GIX, ZenFi Networks, Stelia, NYI, Lightpath, and UNITAS GLOBAL. Primary customer segments are financial services (HFT, electronic trading, market data), AI/ML startups, cloud providers, telecom carriers, and ISPs requiring dense interconnection at a major New York hub.
