Ideal Customer
- DC BLOX's core colocation sweet spot is mid-market enterprises, regional businesses, universities, healthcare organizations, government entities, and managed service providers that need enterprise-grade data center infrastructure but operate in Tier 2 Southeast markets where major-metro options are impractical or cost-prohibitive.
- These are typically organizations that previously had to choose between driving to a distant major-city colocation facility, building their own on-premises data center, or settling for lower-quality local options.
Key Differentiators
- DC BLOX's primary differentiator is its vertically integrated model combining Tier III colocation, hyperscale-ready campuses, a proprietary regional dark fiber network, and subsea cable landing stations — all focused exclusively on underserved Tier 2 and Tier 3 Southeast markets that lack major-metro alternatives.
- It is the only cable landing station operator in the Carolinas with subsea connectivity, providing a unique international gateway advantage.
Industries Served
- DC BLOX serves a broad range of industries with particular concentration in healthcare, financial services, higher education and research institutions, manufacturing, media, local and state government, IT managed service providers, and content providers.
- The company also serves enterprises needing hybrid IT and disaster recovery, federal government contractors (enabled by NIST 800-171 compliance), and increasingly hyperscalers and cloud providers seeking edge node infrastructure in the Southeast.
Service Coverage
- DC BLOX operates exclusively in the Southeastern United States, with a regional but rapidly expanding footprint.
- Operating data centers are located in Birmingham, AL; Huntsville, AL; Chattanooga, TN; Greenville, SC; Myrtle Beach, SC; and Atlanta, GA (Conyers and Douglasville campuses), with additional developments underway in North Augusta, SC; Palm Coast, FL; Montgomery, AL; and High Point, NC.
Partnerships
- On the technology side, DC BLOX partners with Megaport (as a Reseller Partner) to deliver Software Defined Network connectivity and cloud on-ramps to AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and other providers from every DC BLOX facility.
- Infrastructure technology partners listed on their website include Zayo, EPB, Siemens, Layer3, Ciena, Eaton, CenturyLink/Lumen, Cummins, Stulz, and Subzero.
Company Size & Ownership
- DC BLOX was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, with an estimated 100–120 employees as of 2026 (sources vary between 74 and 120 depending on the platform and timing).
- Revenue estimates differ widely across data sources, ranging from approximately $9–27M in operational revenue, reflecting its infrastructure-heavy capital model; LeadIQ estimates revenue in the $100M–$250M range when accounting for capital deployment.
Compliance & Certifications
- DC BLOX holds SOC 2 Type II compliance (audited annually under the SSAE 18 standard), HIPAA compliance attested via HITRUST third-party certification, and NIST SP 800-171 compliance for handling Controlled Unclassified Information — enabling it to serve federal agencies and defense contractors.
- Its Birmingham data center has received Uptime Institute Tier III Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF), making DC BLOX the first multi-tenant data center operator in Alabama to achieve this designation; all other facilities are designed to Tier III specifications.
