Infinity Data Center provides Knoxville colocation services from our Hardin Valley facility, offering cost-effective Tier 2 datacenter infrastructure
for businesses throughout East Tennessee. Our facility serves as an ideal location for secondary hosting, disaster recovery, and
geographic diversity for organizations requiring reliable infrastructure outside major markets like Nashville, Atlanta, or Chattanooga.
With partnerships across multiple fiber providers including LCUB, WOW, AT&T, and Windstream,
we negotiate competitive bandwidth pricing and service terms on your behalf—allowing you to focus on your infrastructure while we handle the connectivity.
Knoxville, Tennessee offers unique advantages for data center operations, combining geographic stability, connectivity infrastructure,
and cost-effectiveness ideal for both primary and secondary hosting deployments.
Strategic Geographic Location
Knoxville sits at the crossroads of East Tennessee, providing easy access to major markets while maintaining separation
from higher-cost Tier 1 cities. We're positioned between Nashville (175 miles), Atlanta (200 miles), and Chattanooga (110 miles).
Natural Disaster Resilience
East Tennessee's geography provides natural disaster mitigation - minimal risk from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes,
and flooding compared to coastal and plains-based facilities. This makes Knoxville colocation particularly attractive
for disaster recovery strategies.
Cost Advantages Over Tier 1 Markets
Knoxville data center pricing typically runs 30-50% lower than equivalent services in Nashville, Atlanta, or Charlotte
while delivering comparable reliability and connectivity. Lower real estate costs, competitive power rates, and regional carrier
competition enable enterprise-grade infrastructure at prices that make secondary and DR deployments financially viable.
Oak Ridge National Laboratory Ecosystem
Proximity to Oak Ridge National Laboratory has fostered a sophisticated technology ecosystem in East Tennessee.
This concentration of technical talent, advanced computing expertise, and high-performance networking infrastructure creates an
environment where data center operations benefit from local knowledge unavailable in many secondary markets.

in bandwidth pricing, IP allocation, and service terms. Our connectivity brokerage model means we negotiate on your behalf.
