- "CoreSite is highlighted as the "best overall for interconnection depth" with native cloud onramps and a dense carrier ecosystem." (MiniMax M2.5, Colocation)

- "Other options to consider include 365 Data Centers and CoreSite, but these tend to be more expensive" (Mistral Small, Colocation)
- "Great if you need hybrid cloud adjacency, but can be pricier for basic colocation" (DeepSeek V4 Flash, Colocation)
- "Instead of leasing directly from expensive facilities (like CoreSite or Equinix)" (Kimi K2, Colocation)
