DataBank PIT1 – Downtown Pittsburgh
100 S Commons, Pittsburgh, PA, 15212, US
PIT1 at 100 South Commons runs 30,760 square feet of IT space on 1.9 megawatts, a 2N power design, with 31 carriers on net, and it hosts the Pittsburgh Internet Exchange. A local exchange inside the building is what turns a regional carrier count into genuine peering — traffic between Pittsburgh networks stays in Pittsburgh instead of hauling to Ashburn or Chicago. The city's economy shifted from steel to robotics, autonomous vehicles and health systems, all of which buy compute and all of which benefit from that. South Commons sits on the north shore of the Allegheny, across the river from downtown, on ground that is neither the flood plain nor the central business district. The Summit Park building south of the city shares the same carrier ecosystem and carries more than twice this critical load when a deployment needs it.
