Markley Group is a Boston-based colocation and cloud services provider best known for operating One Summer Street, a 920,000-square-foot carrier hotel and data center that is widely regarded as the largest multi-tenant telecommunications facility in New England. Founded in 1991, the company also owns and runs a 352,000-square-foot data center in Lowell, Massachusetts, giving it a two-site physical footprint concentrated in the Boston metro area, though its own site claims a broader historical portfolio across the US and Europe exceeding 3,000,000 square feet at various points. Beyond colocation, Markley operates BosIX peering, offers direct cloud on-ramps to AWS and Azure, and launched an Infrastructure-as-a-Service cloud platform in 2012 in partnership with EMC. Its differentiator is its role as New England’s original and dominant carrier hotel, with dense interconnection to dozens of network providers and long-standing enterprise, academic, and media tenants.

A human decides whether each page is published, but individual facts — addresses, contact details, and whether a company operates in a given location — are not independently fact-checked by us. Where you see a “Verified” badge, it means multiple independent sources agreed, not that we personally confirmed it. Companies open, close, relocate, and change contact details without always updating public records, so treat everything here as a starting point, not a confirmed source.
