About North America Infrastructure

North America is one of the most mature and densely interconnected digital infrastructure regions in the world, anchored by the United States' tier-1 interconnection metros and complemented by Canada's trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic gateway cities. Zenlayer operates across both country markets through a 14-city footprint, giving teams a practical foundation for continental coverage, low-latency delivery, and multi-coast redundancy.

In the United States, Zenlayer's footprint spans 11 cities — Akron, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. — covering the country's primary interconnection anchors on both coasts, the Texas triangle, the Midwest, the Southeast, and the Mountain West. Canada adds Toronto as the country's main financial and interconnection hub, Vancouver for Pacific Northwest reach and trans-Pacific gateways, and Kelowna for additional western coverage.

Together, this topology supports continental deployments that need short intra-region round-trip times, dense carrier and cloud on-ramp access, and predictable long-haul paths to Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America.

United States Data Centers & Network Edge

View Country Guide

The United States is Zenlayer's deepest North America footprint, with 49 data centers across nine metros, from San Jose and Los Angeles on the Pacific to New York City and Miami on the Atlantic and Gulf. That spread lets enterprise teams hold low latency on both coasts and the interior from a single control plane.

Typical Workloads

  • Coast-to-coast delivery across nine United States metro markets
  • Carrier-dense peering on the Pacific and Atlantic gateways
  • Cloud Connect on-ramps to the Northern Virginia and Silicon Valley cloud regions

What countries does Zenlayer operate in across North America?

Zenlayer operates infrastructure across two North American countries: the United States and Canada. Within these countries, Zenlayer maintains data centers and network nodes across 14 cities — 11 in the United States and 3 in Canada — spanning both coasts, the Midwest, Texas, the Southeast, and Canadian trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic gateway metros.

Where are Zenlayer data centers located in North America?

Zenlayer has data centers across 14 cities in North America. In the United States (11 cities): Akron, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Jose, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. In Canada (3 cities): Kelowna, Toronto, and Vancouver.

How can companies deploy infrastructure in North America?

Companies can deploy infrastructure in North America through Zenlayer's bare metal cloud, edge colocation, CDN, IP transit, Cloud WAN, and Cloud Connect services. Deployments can be configured per-city, per-country, or as a continental topology — commonly anchored in Washington, D.C. and San Jose for US coverage, with Toronto added for Canadian reach and additional metros layered in as traffic grows.

Which North American metros are best for interconnection?

The Washington, D.C. area, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and San Jose are among North America's densest interconnection markets, hosting significant tier-1 carrier, IXP, and cloud on-ramp presence. Toronto plays the equivalent role in Canada. Teams needing the broadest peering and cloud-connect options typically anchor in one or more of these metros.

How should enterprises choose their first deployment location in North America?

Teams focused on East Coast users typically start in the Washington, D.C. or New York metros for interconnection density. West Coast-focused teams usually anchor in San Jose or Los Angeles, with Seattle and Vancouver added for Pacific Northwest and trans-Pacific reach. Continental deployments commonly pair an East Coast and a West Coast anchor, layering in Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, or Toronto based on user distribution.
