Core offering

QTD Systems provides carrier-neutral colocation and specialized quantum-ready infrastructure hosting from its QTD1 data center at 60 Hudson Street in New York City. The company leases rack space, meet-me room cross-connects, and managed quantum hosting environments equipped with cryogenic cooling, electromagnetic shielding, vibration isolation, and dark fiber connectivity to enable quantum hardware developers, carriers, and research institutions to deploy advanced systems in a live, interconnected environment.

Product overview

QTD Systems provides a dual offering of quantum-ready colocation infrastructure and classical digital data center services from its flagship facility at 60 Hudson Street in New York City. The company's Quantum Infrastructure Hosting product line includes specialized services for quantum computing hardware: cryogenic hosting for superconducting equipment, electromagnetic shielding (Faraday cages), vibration isolated racks, dark fiber interconnects to national labs, and dedicated test sites for quantum-digital and quantum security devices. This is complemented by a traditional Tier III data center offering providing carrier-neutral colocation with 400+ carrier access, HIPAA/SOCII/PCI-DSS compliance, and global fiber connectivity. The QTD1 data center serves as a strategic hub where the company partners with quantum networking providers like Qunnect to enable the GothamQ metropolitan quantum network testbed, positioning QTD as the critical physical layer infrastructure bridging classical and quantum computing systems.

Partnerships

Six partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• DE-CIXcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 22 April 2026DE-CIX expanded its New York Point of Presence at 60 Hudson Street by partnering with QTD Systems at their QTD1 data center, adding a fourth location within the carrier hotel. The expansion enables networks to access DE-CIX's exchange platform from any of four data centers, with QTD1 customers able to link to existing DE-CIX access points. DE-CIX positions this as a differentiator by leveraging QTD's quantum technologies including QKD and Qunnect's GothamQ quantum network testbed.
• CiscocoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 March 2026Cisco and QTD validated a quantum network over 17.6 kilometers of standard telecom fiber in Manhattan and Brooklyn, demonstrating significant improvements in entanglement swapping rates and polarization fidelity. The experiment moved quantum networking from laboratory research to practical, urban infrastructure deployment using QTD's facility as the central hub.
• QunnectcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 18 February 2026Qunnect and QTD conducted the first entanglement swapping demonstration over deployed metro-scale fiber using a commercial quantum networking system on Qunnect's GothamQ testbed. QTD's data center at 60 Hudson Street serves as the hub connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan through 17.6 km of fiber. The trial achieved record swapping rates nearly 10,000 times better than previous benchmarks.

Direct peers

• Digital Realty: Global data center and colocation operator with significant presence in Manhattan and other major telco hubs — same colo/cross-connect product set and same large-enterprise customer pool as QTD's classical offering.
• DataBank: Carrier-neutral colocation and interconnection provider with presence in tier-2/3 markets and select primary hubs. Comparable business model offering enterprise-grade colo with meet-me-room interconnects.
• Equinix: Largest global carrier-neutral colocation operator with dense meet-me rooms in major interconnection hubs — same fundamental business model as QTD1 at 60 Hudson Street, serving the same carrier and enterprise tenants with cross-connect and colocation services.
• CoreSite (American Tower): Carrier-neutral colocation specialist focused on dense interconnection campuses in major US markets (NY, LA, Chicago). Directly comparable carrier-hotel model and customer base to QTD's 60 Hudson operation.
• Telehouse (KDDI): Carrier-neutral data center operator known for its flagship Telehouse North facility in NYC's 25 Broadway carrier hotel. Closely analogous model: dense carrier ecosystem, meet-me rooms, and managed colocation.

Broad incumbents

• CyrusOne: Hyperscale-leaning colocation and interconnection operator. Broader incumbent in the same industry segment as QTD's classical offering, primarily serving larger-scale enterprise and cloud tenants.
• Zayo Group: Dark fiber and bandwidth infrastructure provider operating extensive fiber routes through 60 Hudson and other carrier hotels. Adjacent to QTD's dark fiber quantum interconnect offering and colocation customer base.
• Cyxtera Technologies: Large multi-tenant data center operator with significant US footprint including NYC, offering traditional colocation and interconnection services. Overlaps with QTD's classical business but lacks quantum-specific specialization.

Emerging players

• Aliro Quantum: Quantum networking software and simulation company focused on entanglement-based networks and QKD. Comparable to QTD at the application/protocol layer that runs over the dark fiber quantum interconnects QTD hosts at 60 Hudson.

Regional players

• Hudson Interxchange (111 8th Ave / 325 Hudson carrier hotels): Other major NYC carrier hotels and their colo operators (e.g., 111 8th Avenue, 325 Hudson). Comparable carrier-dense interconnection assets in the same metropolitan market where QTD competes for enterprise and carrier tenants.
