OMAHA, Neb., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- 1623 Farnam, a regional leader in network-neutral edge interconnection and data center services, announces the completion of a major facility expansion at its flagship, carrier-neutral data center in Omaha this month. The project, which adds the facility's final two data halls, brings an additional 1.5MW of IT capacity and 280 cabinet-ready positions online — answering growing demand from customers across cloud, AI, content and broadband markets.

Driven by customer growth and increasing need for high-performance interconnection, 1623 Farnam accelerated the project timeline to bring the expansion online in the first half of 2025. The newly completed data halls are now ready for customer move-ins.
