Direct Cloud On-Ramps There are no direct public cloud on-ramps located within Long Island itself, enabling access to 0 cloud regions locally. However, access to all major cloud providers is readily available via private network extensions and dedicated circuits to the primary interconnection hubs in New York City and Northern New Jersey.
Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) Public peering is concentrated in Manhattan's major exchanges like NYIIX and DE-CIX New York. Most peering from Long Island data centers is handled privately or through direct connections to these core IXPs.

The state's energy portfolio includes approximately 52% from fossil fuels, 22% from nuclear, and 26% from renewables.
Power Grid Reliability The power grid serving Long Island's data center corridors is well-engineered for business continuity. Facilities are typically supported by redundant utility feeds from multiple substations, ensuring high levels of uptime and resilience against local grid disruptions.
Market Access, Business & Tax Climate
Proximity To Key Business Districts Long Island data centers provide low-latency connectivity to the dense commercial and industrial centers of Nassau and Suffolk counties. Critically, they also offer direct, high-speed access to Manhattan's financial, media, and enterprise sectors, making them ideal for latency-sensitive applications.
Regional Market Reach The market is perfectly positioned to serve the entire New York metropolitan area, one of the world's largest economic regions. Its position on the Atlantic coast also makes it a key landing point for subsea cables, offering some of the lowest-latency network paths to Europe.
Tax Advantage For Data Centers New York provides significant tax incentives, including a sales tax exemption on tangible personal property such as servers, racks, and cooling infrastructure used in qualifying data centers. This program directly reduces the capital expenditure required for building new facilities or executing hardware refreshes.
Natural Disaster Risk
