DALLAS, April 11, 2024 – DataBank, a leading provider of enterprise-class colocation, interconnection, and managed services, today announced that it has been selected as the “Data Center Solution of the Year” for its Universal Data Hall Design (UDHD) in the fifth annual Data Breakthrough Awards program conducted by Tech Breakthrough.

To accommodate the growing demand for high-density colocation brought about by generative AI’s accelerated adoption, DataBank rolled out an agile framework for building next-gen data centers.
