DC BLOX
Southeastern US data center and connectivity operator offering colocation and high-density halls aimed at HPC and AI workloads, including GPU-ready cabinets. DC BLOX closed a $240 million HoldCo financing facility from Global Infrastructure Partners in January 2026.
Teams placing AI or HPC gear in the Southeast that want colo and connectivity without a hyperscale-only campus deal.
Buyers that need global interconnection footprints like Equinix-class campuses in every metro.
Verdict
DC BLOX is a good fit when your constraint is regional capacity and density for AI or HPC cabinets, not a worldwide colo passport. Public revenue signals place it firmly mid-market. Practitioners like HPC upgrades in markets such as Birmingham; if you need dozens of metros and cloud on-ramps everywhere, larger colo peers will feel closer.

Representative buyer view
“We colocate high-density racks for an HPC environment and use its fiber and cloud on-ramps.”
