Cologix, a leading network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data center company in North America, announced its collaboration with Lambda, the AI Developer Cloud, to deploy NVIDIA HGX B200-accelerated 1-Click Clusters at Cologix’s COL4 ScalelogixSM data center in Columbus, Ohio. Built on Supermicro’s high-performance, energy-efficient AI solutions, this is the first deployment of its kind in the region delivering enterprise-grade AI compute with simplified access for businesses across the Midwest.
As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are looking for fast, cost-effective ways to support large model training, fine-tuning and inference workloads. After standing up AI infrastructure in Chicago in 2024, this strategic collaboration brings Lambda’s NVIDIA GPU-accelerated 1-Click Clusters to Columbus, enabling regional enterprises to spin up high-performance compute infrastructure in seconds—no infrastructure management required.

“Columbus is a thriving hub for AI innovation, from manufacturing to healthcare,” said Robert Brooks IV, Founding Team & VP, Revenue at Lambda. “With Supermicro’s trusted systems and Cologix’s reliable infrastructure, we’re giving Lambda’s customers in the Midwest the fastest path to production-ready AI—and the added flexibility to integrate with hyperscaler environments.”
The launch increases the availability of Lambda’s popular 1-Click Clusters™, which are purpose-built for model training and inference at scale. Combined with Supermicro’s AI-optimized hardware and Cologix’s carrier-dense environment, this deployment brings frictionless access to next-gen AI performance all within a highly secure, compliant data center environment.
Built on NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs,1-Click Clusters™ can be self-served or provisioned through Lambda’s flagship GPU Flexible Commitment (GFC) – an innovative compute consumption model that grants organizations access to Lambda’s entire Cloud portfolio, and provides seamless transitions to the next generations of NVIDIA accelerated computing.
“Columbus is one of the fastest-growing digital corridors in the country and this launch brings coastal-level AI infrastructure into the region,” said Chris Heinrich, Chief Revenue Officer of Cologix. “Our collaboration with Lambda and Supermicro gives regional enterprises a powerful edge, combining low-latency access, dense interconnection and ready-to-deploy clusters, giving teams the ability to move faster and scale smarter.”

Cologix is currently the largest colocation and interconnection provider in the area with a portfolio of four data centers spanning a total of 500,000 square feet and 80 MW of power. All four of Cologix’s data centers in Columbus are interconnected with a diverse fiber ring. Additionally, Cologix has Ohio’s most comprehensive carrier hotel in its Columbus data centers as well as an interconnection ecosystem of 50+ unique network and cloud service providers, two public cloud onramps with access to Amazon Web Services® Direct Connect and Google Cloud Interconnect and the Ohio IX internet exchange.
“Supermicro’s collaboration with Lambda and Cologix delivers real-world impact,” said Charles Liang, president and CEO. “Our NVIDIA HGX B200-based hardware enables the highest performance AI workloads in a space- and energy-efficient footprint. Together, we’re bringing those benefits to businesses in the Midwest and beyond.”
Together, Lambda, Supermicro and Cologix are enabling enterprises in healthcare, finance, logistics, retail and manufacturing to accelerate their AI roadmaps without the heavy lift of managing infrastructure. This deployment is part of a broader trend of moving high-performance compute closer to where data is generated and used and reflects Cologix’s continued investment in digital infrastructure across North America.
