CoreSite – Washington,DC (DC1)
1275 K Street, NW, Washington, DC, 20005, US
DC1 is CoreSite's interconnection hub in downtown Washington and the home of its Any2Exchange peering fabric in the District, with 16 networks and three exchanges reachable on-net. The facility is compact at 22,000-plus square feet and draws from the utility grid serving the White House, backed by generators holding 18 hours of fuel. Electrical distribution is 2N through UPS, PDU and RPP, while the mechanical plant runs N+1 dry coolers and CRAC units against 2N glycol pumping, with hot and cold aisle containment throughout. Native 400G AWS Direct Connect is available here alongside Azure ExpressRoute, Google Cloud Interconnect and Oracle FastConnect. Dark fiber connects DC1 to DC2 and out to the Reston campus, and three grade-level loading bays serve the building. CoreSite's NIST 800-53 assessment is what federal contractors here build their own FISMA and FedRAMP programs against.
