Company Is One of the First Carrier-Neutral Data Center Providers in North America to Achieve Gold-Tier Verification

Providing Customers Simplified, Enterprise-Grade Connectivity to All Google Internet-Based Services

CoreSite, an American Tower company (NYSE: AMT) empowering critical business and AI workloads that impact everyday life through interconnected data center solutions, today announced it is one of the first, carrier-neutral data center operators in North America to become a Google Gold Verified Peering Provider (VPP). By achieving Gold-tier status, CoreSite reinforces its position as an enterprise-grade internet service provider that delivers low latency and high-performance interconnectivity for customers to access all Google services that are reachable over the internet, including Google Cloud.

Organizations need simple and highly available connectivity solutions to reach publicly available cloud resources. Enterprises that access Google Workspace or consume SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) or other internet-facing applications hosted on Google Cloud require reliable public connectivity to support their business operations. Google’s VPP program enables Google customers to access all Google services without the complexities of Direct Peering. VPPs, like CoreSite, manage Direct Peering with Google over dedicated private connectivity with redundancy requirements for each enrolled provider.

CoreSite achieved Google Gold VPP status by establishing dedicated and redundant private network interfaces (PNIs) across multiple markets with Google, including Atlanta, Denver, Los Angeles, Silicon Valley and Chicago. These PNIs are located within facilities that are owned and operated by CoreSite and are also tied into the company’s Blended IP product, a fully managed solution designed to optimize internet service. The combination of PNIs and CoreSite’s Blended IP gives customers improved latency and performance when utilizing Google services over the internet by verifying redundant connectivity and removing the need to establish their own Direct Peering sessions to achieve these results.

“CoreSite continues to invest in advancing our infrastructure and networking capabilities, as demonstrated by our achievement of Google Gold VPP status. Continuously improving and enhancing multiple mediums of connectivity within our data center ecosystems is important to our customers,” said Chris Malayter, VP of Network and Interconnection at CoreSite. “Whether a customer is looking for a private connection via a cross connect, or our software-defined networking platform, the Open Cloud Exchange^®, or an internet connection over our Blended IP network, CoreSite provides the lowest latency and highest performance available for workloads including AI and other applications.”
