PHILADELPHIA -- Philadelphia Technology Park, the Mid-Atlantic’s premier data center for colocation located in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, announced today that it has partnered with Comcast Corporation, one of the nation's leading providers of information and communications products and services, to provide the data center with access to Comcast’s private, optical network and extensive fiber footprint.

The new relationship allows both Philadelphia Technology Park and Comcast Business Services to continue to expand their connections in the region. Philadelphia Navy Yard businesses, including Comcast customers and prospective customers alike, will now be able to connect with a state-of-the-art data center and have access to Comcast’s high-performance network.
