Segra has launched a new unified cloud communications platform called SkyVoice. They are targeting the business and enterprise market, looking to bring voice, collaboration, and contact center capabilities under one umbrella.

DataBank is teaming up with Goodman Group to build a new data center out in California. They have formed a joint venture to build a 32MW facility at 3094 E Vernon Avenue in the city of Vernon. That’s just 5 miles south of downtown LA. Goodman acquired the site in 2023 and will build the facility, while DataBank will operate the site within its national infrastructure platform. The JV may later take aim at additional sites in the future.
