Zayo Group has acquired Core NAP, an Austin, Texas-based data center operator, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition includes the company’s data center facility located at 7218 McNeil Dr. in northwest Austin.

The facility offers carrier-neutral colocation and has more than 220 existing customers and five carriers providing services to cloud, enterprise, financial, carrier, media and other connectivity-focused customers.

Chris Morley, president of colocation at Zayo, said, “The purchase of Zayo’s latest zColo facility marks our first data center in the region and a great addition to our zColo roster of colocation facilities. Austin is a thriving technology community as well as an attractive market for disaster recovery due to proximity to other major markets and its low risk to most natural disasters.”

The data center will provide a colocation space of 15,000 sq ft, featuring private cages and cabinets, as well as remote hands for on-site for assistance. In 2012, Zayo expanded its metro and long-haul network in Austin.

The acquisition of Core NAP was completed on May 31, 2013, and zColo services are now available to customers. With this acquisition, Zayo now operates 21 zColo facilities nationwide.
