Globalinx

What Globalinx does

Globalinx Data Centers LLC is a privately held, Tier-III carrier-neutral data center operator founded in 2017 and headquartered in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The firm operates a multi-phase colocation campus at the Corporate Landing Business Park positioned immediately adjacent to the Telxius Cable Landing Station, providing direct access to the MAREA subsea cable (Virginia Beach to Bilbao, Spain) and the BRUSA subsea cable (Virginia Beach to Puerto Rico and Brazil) — each designed at 160 terabits per second. The company serves network carriers, subsea cable operators, hyperscale cloud providers (Microsoft, Facebook, and other MAREA/BRUSA consortium participants), and enterprises that require low-latency, carrier-neutral international connectivity outside the dominant New York/New Jersey and Florida cable-landing corridors.

The core product is a Subsea Carrier-Neutral Colocation Hotel: dedicated Cable Landing Station space for hosting Power Feed Equipment (PFE) and Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE), a Meet-Me-Room (MMR) enabling Network-to-Network Interconnections between carriers, cloud, and content networks, and Tier-III colocation space sold as cabinets (2kW to 15kW density), cages, and private suites. The infrastructure is supported by 30MW+ scalable power from Dominion Energy through two independent substations, a four-phase campus plan totaling 287,000 square feet across 21.5 acres (with an additional 10 acres under contract), and five terrestrial fiber providers (Level 3, Windstream, Lumos, MBC, Metro Fiber Networks) providing redundant paths to Northern Virginia. A 24x7 Remote Hands service is offered as an add-on.

Revenue is generated primarily through multi-year recurring subscriptions for colocation, cross-connect, and Remote Hands services. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales targeting carriers, subsea operators, and hyperscale providers with strategic channel partnerships — notably Cox Business for last-mile Hampton Roads enterprise access and Lumos Networks for fiber backhaul to Ashburn — supported by participation in wholesale telecom industry conferences (PTC, ITW, Capacity). The company is founder-led by Greg Twitt, whose background is in real estate development and prior leadership of the Otto Gerdau Company, and operates with a very lean organization (reported headcount of 1-10).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• CoreSite (American Tower): Interconnection-focused colocation operator with dense MMRs and cloud on-ramps, now part of American Tower. Closely aligned with Globalinx's carrier-neutral, cross-connect-centric go-to-market.
• DataBank: Mid-market carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection provider with MMR offerings. Comparable in scale tier and customer mix to Globalinx.

Broad incumbents

• QTS Data Centers (Blackstone): Hyperscale-scale colocation operator with mega-campus builds (including in Ashburn). Relevant comparable for Globalinx's multi-phase, large-footprint, utility-powered build strategy.
• Equinix: Global leader in carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection with the largest portfolio of IX/MMR ecosystems (e.g., Ashburn, NYC, Miami). Directly comparable business model to Globalinx's Meet-Me-Room and cross-connect thesis, though at vastly larger scale and global footprint.
• Digital Realty: Large-scale global colocation and interconnection provider, including significant Ashburn presence via the Teraco/Interxion acquisitions. Competes for hyperscale and carrier tenants that Globalinx targets for subsea on-ramps.
• Zayo Group: Owner of long-haul terrestrial fiber routes that Globalinx relies on for backhaul from Virginia Beach to Ashburn. Overlaps with Globalinx's connectivity value proposition and competes for wholesale bandwidth customers.

Emerging players

• Aqua Comms: Subsea cable owner/operator providing transatlantic capacity. Directly relevant as a peer/ecosystem participant in subsea landing and capacity wholesale that Globalinx's CLS services support.
• EdgeConneX: Edge and subsea-adjacent data center operator focused on Tier 2/3 markets and cable landing points. Closely aligned with Globalinx's strategy of placing capacity near subsea landings and underserved markets.

Others

• Telxius: Subsea cable owner (Telefónica subsidiary) and operator of the Cable Landing Station adjacent to Globalinx in Virginia Beach. Functions as both partner and adjacent infrastructure provider in the same subsea landing ecosystem.

Regional players

• TeleCove: Regional fiber and colocation provider with mid-Atlantic and southeastern U.S. footprint. Comparable as a regional carrier-neutral operator that Globalinx may partner with or compete against for enterprise tenants.
