DataBank NYC — The Full Facility Overview
DataBank operates multiple facilities across the New York City metro market serving different deployment profiles and requirements.
DataBank LGA3 — Orangeburg NY — Primary AI and High Density Facility
- DataBank LGA3 in Orangeburg is the most strategically important DataBank facility in the NYC metro market and the primary independent recommendation for companies with high density GPU colocation requirements. Purpose-built for modern compute workloads with infrastructure that legacy facilities simply cannot match.
- LGA3 is NVIDIA DGX Ready certified — one of fewer than 5% of data centers globally that can support modern GPU density requirements. This certification means DataBank LGA3 meets NVIDIA’s strict standards for power density, cooling infrastructure, network fabric, physical security, and operational support for DGX systems including H100, H200, B200, and GB200 NVL72 configurations.
- Power density specifications at LGA3: Air-cooled deployments supported to 35kW per rack — sufficient for H100 and H200 GPU configurations with proper containment. Liquid-cooled deployments supported to 100kW per rack — required for B200 and B300 configurations and strongly recommended for GB200 NVL72 deployments. Standard enterprise colocation supported from 3kW per rack for traditional compute workloads alongside high density deployments in the same facility. DataBank LGA3 supports deployments from single cabinet and 1U colocation configurations through to full cage and suite deployments for large high density AI infrastructure buildouts.
- The geographic advantage: LGA3 sits in Orangeburg NY — one hop connectivity to DataBank’s Manhattan locations at 60 Hudson Street and 111 8th Avenue maintains full ecosystem access to the NYC carrier hotel ecosystem without the Manhattan premium. Companies running AI inference workloads that need ecosystem connectivity but not Manhattan pricing find LGA3 the optimal balance of access, density, and economics.
DataBank — 60 Hudson Street Manhattan
DataBank operates colocation space at 60 Hudson Street — one of Manhattan’s premier carrier hotels.
For companies that specifically require a Manhattan carrier hotel address and DataBank’s competitive pricing versus Equinix and Digital Realty’s 60 Hudson presence — DataBank’s 60 Hudson location provides carrier hotel connectivity at more competitive mid-market pricing.
For a complete analysis of 60 Hudson Street alongside other Manhattan options see our Manhattan data centers guide.
DataBank — 165 Halsey Street Newark NJ
DataBank operates a significant facility at 165 Halsey Street in Newark NJ — a carrier neutral data center option for companies needing New Jersey presence with direct connectivity to the Manhattan carrier hotel ecosystem. 165 Halsey Street is one of the most searched data center addresses in the NYC metro market at 390 monthly searches nationally — signaling meaningful buyer interest in this specific facility.
Competitive pricing, strong compliance certifications, and solid connectivity make 165 Halsey Street a genuine alternative to premium Secaucus and Manhattan facilities for cost-sensitive deployments.
DataBank’s 165 Halsey Street location is also one of the most competitive options in the NYC metro market for companies evaluating data center rental or flexible data center lease terms — DataBank offers contract flexibility that larger providers typically do not.

The colocation advisor that works for you — not the facility
DataBank Pricing — What Mid-Market Companies Actually Pay
DataBank data center colocation pricing has no published rate card — which makes current market benchmark data the most important asset you can bring to any DataBank negotiation.
Negotiated rates vary significantly based on deal size, term length, competitive context, and whether you have an advisor with current market benchmark data.
Here is what we know from current market experience:
LGA3 Orangeburg — AI and high density colocation pricing: DataBank LGA3 pricing for high density GPU colocation is consistently more competitive than Equinix NY5 for comparable density specifications. For mid-market companies evaluating GPU infrastructure for AI inference workloads — LGA3 typically delivers 15 to 30 percent better economics than Equinix NY5 at equivalent power density. The savings compound significantly over a three to five year contract term.
Manhattan locations — 60 Hudson Street: DataBank’s 60 Hudson Street pricing is competitive with Digital Realty’s JFK12 facility and meaningfully more competitive than Equinix’s Manhattan presence for standard enterprise deployments without specific Equinix ecosystem requirements.
165 Halsey Street Newark NJ: DataBank’s most cost-competitive NYC metro option. Standard enterprise colocation at pricing that is consistently below Secaucus campus pricing from Equinix and CoreSite for comparable deployments. Ideal for cost-sensitive primary deployments, data center rental arrangements, or secondary disaster recovery infrastructure where contract flexibility and competitive pricing are the primary drivers.
The honest pricing reality: DataBank’s lack of a published rate card means the gap between what companies pay when negotiating directly versus what they pay with an independent advisor is larger than at any other NYC provider. Our clients have current benchmark data on DataBank LGA3, 60 Hudson, and 165 Halsey Street pricing across multiple recent deployments. That benchmark data is the most valuable thing we bring to a DataBank negotiation — and it costs you nothing to access. See our colocation pricing guide for a full breakdown of what goes into a colocation contract.
DataBank HIPAA BAA — The Strongest Compliance Posture in the NYC Metro Market
For mid-market companies in regulated industries — healthcare, financial services, life sciences, and legal — DataBank’s compliance posture is the primary selection criterion and the area where DataBank most consistently outperforms other NYC providers.
DataBank HIPAA Business Associate Agreement:
DataBank carries the strongest HIPAA BAA in the NYC metro market. For healthcare organizations, health tech companies, and life sciences firms deploying AI workloads on patient data or protected health information — DataBank's HIPAA BAA combined with their NVIDIA DGX Ready certification for high density GPU infrastructure creates a unique combination no other NYC provider can match. HIPAA colocation for AI workloads — running large language models on clinical data, processing medical imaging with GPU infrastructure, or deploying AI diagnostic tools — requires both HIPAA compliance and high density colocation capability simultaneously. DataBank LGA3 is the only NYC metro facility that credibly delivers both.
For organizations evaluating high density colocation infrastructure alongside HIPAA compliance, DataBank LGA3 is the primary independent recommendation in the NYC metro market.
SOC 2 Type II:
Confirmed across DataBank NYC facilities. Required by most enterprise security programs and strongly preferred by regulated industry clients evaluating colocation.
PCI DSS:
Payment card industry compliance supported across DataBank facilities. Relevant for fintech and payments companies requiring PCI certified infrastructure.
FedRAMP and CMMC:
DataBank maintains compliance capabilities relevant to government contractors and defense-adjacent companies. FedRAMP versus CMMC compliance requirements are distinct — verify which framework applies to your specific requirements before selecting a facility.
The compliance evaluation:
Always request current certifications not legacy documentation. Verify certifications cover the specific services and spaces you will use. An independent advisor who has worked with DataBank across multiple regulated industry deployments can verify current compliance posture for your specific requirements before you commit.
For a complete framework on how colocation compliance applies to your specific industry — healthcare HIPAA, financial services SOC, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and CMMC — see our compliance colocation guide.
DataBank AI Infrastructure — NVIDIA DGX Ready Certified
DataBank LGA3 is one of a small number of NVIDIA DGX Ready certified facilities in the United States — a certification that less than 5% of data centers globally can achieve. For companies evaluating AI infrastructure colocation for GPU workloads the DGX Ready certification is the most meaningful facility quality signal available.
What DGX Ready certification means for your deployment:
Power infrastructure: Guaranteed power delivery at high density specifications — not a “we think we can support it” estimate. DGX Ready facilities have been independently verified by NVIDIA to deliver stable power at the density your GPU infrastructure requires.
Cooling infrastructure: Air cooling to 35kW per rack and liquid cooling to 100kW per rack — verified. B200 and B300 GPU configurations require liquid cooling without exception. LGA3 supports both air and liquid cooled deployments in the same facility.
Network fabric: Low latency network infrastructure supporting NVLink requirements. NVLink cable length limits of 20 to 30 meters require contiguous rack placement — a facility evaluation criterion most advisors overlook that has real operational implications for multi-node GPU deployments.
Physical security and operational support: NVIDIA’s DGX Ready standards include physical security and hands-on operational support requirements that less sophisticated facilities cannot meet.
The GPU infrastructure comparison:
For companies evaluating high density GPU colocation in the NYC metro market — DataBank LGA3 versus Equinix NY5 is the primary comparison. LGA3 delivers equivalent or superior density specifications at meaningfully more competitive pricing. For healthcare AI workloads where HIPAA BAA is a simultaneous requirement — DataBank is the only credible NYC recommendation. See our AI infrastructure assessment for a complete evaluation of your specific GPU deployment requirements.
DataBank vs Equinix — An Honest Independent Comparison
When Equinix wins:
Financial services companies requiring direct access to the NY4 trading ecosystem have no equivalent at DataBank. Exchange matching engines, prime broker cross-connects, and market data provider connectivity at NY4 are unique to the Equinix data center campus. For these specific requirements Equinix NY4 is the right answer and DataBank is not a genuine alternative. See our Equinix NY4 guide for a full analysis.
When DataBank wins:
AI and high density GPU colocation — DataBank LGA3 wins on price, density, and certification versus Equinix NY5 for every mid-market AI deployment that does not require NY4 financial ecosystem access. Healthcare IT colocation — DataBank’s HIPAA BAA combined with DGX Ready certification is unmatched in the NYC metro market. Cost-sensitive enterprise deployments — DataBank’s 60 Hudson and 165 Halsey Street locations deliver carrier hotel access and enterprise-grade infrastructure at pricing consistently below Equinix for comparable non-financial-ecosystem requirements.
When DataBank alternatives make more sense:
Companies with hybrid cloud architecture requirements where Digital Realty ServiceFabric connectivity delivers meaningful economic benefit may find Digital Realty the stronger option. Companies requiring CoreSite’s Open Cloud Exchange for specific cloud on-ramp economics may find CoreSite NY1 and NY3 the better fit for hybrid AI architectures. See our independent provider comparison for a full side-by-side analysis across all five NYC providers.
DataBank NYC — Connectivity and Ecosystem
One-hop Manhattan ecosystem access:
DataBank LGA3 in Orangeburg connects to DataBank’s Manhattan locations at 60 Hudson Street and 111 8th Avenue via one-hop connectivity. This architecture gives companies colocating at LGA3 access to the full Manhattan carrier hotel ecosystem — hundreds of carriers, ISPs, cloud on-ramps, and financial network infrastructure — without paying Manhattan carrier hotel pricing for their primary compute infrastructure.
Carrier neutrality:
DataBank’s NYC facilities are carrier-neutral — you can connect to any carrier without restriction. This carrier neutrality maintains competitive bandwidth pricing through carrier competition and provides flexibility to add or change carriers as requirements evolve.
Cross-connect ecosystem:
DataBank’s 60 Hudson Street presence connects into one of the most carrier-dense buildings in the world. Companies requiring specific carrier relationships or network paths available only at 60 Hudson can access that ecosystem through DataBank’s facility there.
165 Halsey Street Newark — New Jersey connectivity:
165 Halsey Street provides strong New Jersey connectivity for companies with NJ presence requirements or disaster recovery deployments that benefit from geographic separation from Manhattan and Secaucus facilities. One of the most searched data center addresses in the NYC metro market — confirming active buyer interest in this specific facility.
Who Should Seriously Evaluate DataBank NYC
AI and machine learning companies:
Companies deploying GPU infrastructure for AI inference, machine learning training, or HPC compute. DataBank LGA3’s NVIDIA DGX Ready certification, air and liquid cooling capabilities, and competitive pricing make it the strongest independent recommendation for mid-market AI infrastructure in the NYC metro market.
Healthcare and life sciences organizations:
Hospitals, health systems, health tech companies, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies deploying AI workloads on protected health information. DataBank’s HIPAA BAA combined with DGX Ready high density colocation is the only NYC metro option that addresses both requirements simultaneously. See our HIPAA colocation guide for a full analysis of healthcare IT infrastructure requirements.
Companies evaluating cloud repatriation:
Organizations moving stable AI and machine learning workloads from AWS or Azure back to dedicated colocation find DataBank LGA3 a compelling destination. The two-year TCO comparison for a single high density GPU node consistently shows colocation at 40 to 60 percent lower cost than equivalent cloud GPU infrastructure at scale. See our cloud repatriation guide for a full financial analysis.
Cost-sensitive enterprise deployments:
Mid-market companies needing professional enterprise-grade colocation in the NYC metro market without Equinix or Digital Realty premium pricing. DataBank’s 60 Hudson and 165 Halsey Street locations provide enterprise infrastructure and carrier access at meaningfully more competitive pricing. Companies evaluating data center rental arrangements or flexible lease terms find DataBank particularly competitive at 165 Halsey Street.
Financial services companies outside the NY4 trading ecosystem:
Hedge funds, asset managers, and financial services firms that need enterprise-grade NYC colocation with strong compliance certifications but do not require direct NY4 trading ecosystem access. DataBank’s 60 Hudson Street location provides financial ecosystem adjacency at more competitive pricing than Equinix for non-trading-ecosystem requirements.
Companies in early data center site selection:
For companies in the early stages of colocation site selection — evaluating whether LGA3, 60 Hudson, or 165 Halsey Street is the right DataBank facility for their specific requirements — Metro Colo Advisory provides independent facility analysis at no cost. Each DataBank location serves distinct site selection criteria that require honest independent analysis to evaluate accurately.
Companies building disaster recovery colocation architecture:
For organizations building disaster recovery colocation where geographic separation from a primary site is required — DataBank’s 165 Halsey Street in Newark and LGA3 in Orangeburg both serve as strong DR options. DataBank paired with a primary site at Equinix or CoreSite in Secaucus delivers natural geographic separation while maintaining one-hop connectivity to the Manhattan carrier hotel ecosystem.
DataBank Alternatives — When Another NYC Provider Makes More Sense
When Equinix NY4 beats DataBank
Financial trading infrastructure requiring direct NY4 ecosystem access — exchange matching engines, prime broker cross-connects, specific market data provider connectivity. DataBank has no equivalent to the Equinix NY4 financial trading ecosystem. If those specific requirements exist, DataBank is not the answer.
When Digital Realty beats DataBank:
Companies with hybrid cloud architecture requirements where Digital Realty ServiceFabric connectivity delivers meaningful economic benefit — particularly for frequent data movement between colocation and cloud environments. Digital Realty’s global footprint is also a meaningful advantage for companies with multi-site international requirements that DataBank cannot match.
When CoreSite beats DataBank:
Companies with strong hybrid cloud connectivity requirements who find CoreSite’s Open Cloud Exchange delivers better economics than DataBank’s cloud connectivity options. CoreSite NY1 and NY3 in Secaucus provide direct private connections to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud with strong mid-market pricing for hybrid AI architectures where cloud connectivity is the primary requirement.
When Cologix beats DataBank:
Companies specifically requiring New Jersey presence at the most competitive pricing with specific Cologix network relationships or Cologix Parsippany NJ connectivity. Cologix’s New Jersey facilities serve a specific connectivity ecosystem that overlaps with but differs from DataBank’s 165 Halsey Street presence.
The independent advisor advantage is clearest in DataBank evaluations specifically because DataBank has no published pricing. We evaluate DataBank, Equinix, Digital Realty, CoreSite, and Cologix simultaneously for every client — recommending the provider that genuinely fits the requirements with current benchmark pricing data across all five. See our full NYC colocation provider comparison for a side-by-side independent analysis.
