August 16, 2024 — Element Critical, one of the fastest-growing data center service providers in the United States, announced a new partnership with Comcast Business: The partnership enhances Element Critical’s retail services by offering businesses located in its data center facilities direct access to Comcast Business’ advanced, fully redundant fiber-based network backbone, and fast, reliable connectivity and telecommunications services. Comcast Business customers will benefit from Element Critical’s hybrid, secure, cloud and colocation services in Chicago and also in Austin, Houston and the Silicon Valley.
