EdgeConneX offers global hyperlocal to hyperscale data center Solutions. The company is acquiring Global Data Center (GDC), an Israel-based data center operator headquartered in Herzliya. The deal is reportedly worth anywhere from $300 to $400 million.
Once completed, the acquisition will bring two new facilities into the EdgeConneX global data center platform, including GDC’s state-of-the-art, and highly secure underground facilities in Herzliya and Petah Tikva, near Tel Aviv.
Global Data Center was founded in 2013 by Moshe Lasman in cooperation and with the financial backing of the Viola Group, a leading private equity investment firm. The Company operates two highly secure, sub-terranean data centers near Tel Aviv, one in Herzliya Pituach, and the second in Petah Tikva. Both sites are built in accordance with the Tier 3 Uptime global standard that serves as the current standard for advanced data centers.

The GDC teams supporting each customer will continue to perform in the same manner as before. If anything, we will look to further grow and augment the existing teams with additional talent and continue to operate our data centers as before. We will provide each customer with the space, power, and connectivity, where they need it to best serve their needs and that of their customers.”
