AWS Launches Native 400G Direct Connect at CoreSite’s Silicon Valley and Northern Virginia Campuses
CoreSite, a subsidiary of American Tower (NYSE: AMT), announced that AWS Direct Connect has launched native 400 Gbps (400G) Dedicated Connections at CoreSite's Silicon Valley and Northern Virginia data center campuses. This makes them optimal locations for deploying demanding hybrid applications, offering high-bandwidth connectivity and low latency to AWS regions.
The new 400G connections are particularly beneficial for applications transferring large-scale datasets, such as large language model training and advanced driver assistance systems. CoreSite's Silicon Valley campus will expand with the addition of SV9, a 240,000-square-foot data center expected to be completed in Q4 2024, bringing the total campus size to 1.179 million square feet. The Northern Virginia campus includes three interconnected data centers totaling over 1.3 million square feet.
CoreSite, una filiale di American Tower (NYSE: AMT), ha annunciato che AWS Direct Connect ha lanciato connessioni dedicate native a 400 Gbps (400G) nei data center di CoreSite situati nel Silicon Valley e nella Virginia del Nord. Queste località si rivelano ottimali per il dispiegamento di applicazioni ibride esigenti, offrendo connettività ad alta larghezza di banda e bassa latenza verso le regioni AWS.
Le nuove connessioni a 400G sono particolarmente vantaggiose per le applicazioni che trasferiscono grandi set di dati, come l'addestramento di modelli di linguaggio di grandi dimensioni e i sistemi avanzati di assistenza alla guida. Il campus di CoreSite nella Silicon Valley si espanderà con l'aggiunta di SV9, un data center di 240.000 piedi quadrati previsto per essere completato nel Q4 del 2024, portando la dimensione totale del campus a 1,179 milioni di piedi quadrati. Il campus della Virginia del Nord comprende tre data center interconnessi per un totale di oltre 1,3 milioni di piedi quadrati.

Insights
The launch of AWS's native 400G Direct Connect at CoreSite's data centers is a significant technological advancement for high-performance computing and data-intensive applications. This upgrade offers four times the bandwidth of previous 100G connections, enabling faster data transfer and reduced latency for critical applications like AI model training and autonomous vehicle systems.
For CoreSite and American Tower, this positions them at the forefront of cloud connectivity infrastructure, potentially attracting more enterprise customers with demanding computational needs. The strategic locations near AWS availability zones in Silicon Valley and Northern Virginia further enhance their value proposition.
However, the impact on American Tower's stock may be in the short term, as data center operations represent a smaller portion of their overall business compared to their primary focus on wireless and broadcast communications infrastructure. Long-term, this move strengthens their diversification strategy and positions them well in the growing hybrid cloud market.
While this technological advancement is impressive, its immediate financial impact on American Tower (AMT) is likely to be modest. Data center operations, including CoreSite, contribute a relatively small portion to AMT's overall revenue, which is primarily driven by its extensive tower leasing business.
However, this development aligns with AMT's long-term strategy to diversify its revenue streams and capitalize on the growing demand for data infrastructure. The investment in high-bandwidth capabilities could lead to increased occupancy rates and potentially higher revenue per square foot in CoreSite's facilities.
Investors should monitor the growth rate of AMT's data center segment in future earnings reports to gauge the success of this strategy. While not a game-changer for AMT's near-term financials, it positions the company well for future growth in the evolving digital infrastructure landscape.

AWS Direct Connect provides private, high-bandwidth connectivity between AWS and enterprises’ on-premises data centers, offices or colocation facilities like CoreSite. Native 400G connections provide higher bandwidth, without the operational overhead of managing multiple 100G connections in a link aggregation group.
“CoreSite’s robust ecosystem of native cloud onramps and scalable data center campuses offer a unique capability to customers deploying hybrid applications,” said Juan Font, President and CEO of CoreSite, SVP of American Tower. “The new 400G Direct Connect from AWS is particularly beneficial to customer applications that transfer large-scale datasets for large language model training and real-time applications like advanced driver assistance systems.”
CoreSite’s Silicon Valley data center campus provides scalable colocation and networking options well-suited to meet the most demanding business needs. With the addition of the new 240,000-square-foot, purpose-built data center SV9, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024, the company’s Silicon Valley campus will be comprised of nine interconnected facilities and have 1.179 million total square feet of data center space. SV9 has been certified as part of the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program and will offer customers a prime location to deploy an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered, 400G solution.
