About Us
In 2014, president Scott K. Brown created the Pixel Factory Data Center for his growing commercial photography business and the industry’s need for digital storage of images for large corporate clients. He had a vision of creating a data center to serve special clients with very specific needs that were not being met by the larger and more established data centers. From that vision, the Pixel Factory Data Center was born. Brown constructed a state-of-the-art building to house Pixel Factory Data Center Inc., and it is currently undergoing an additional expansion in anticipation of more growth.
Pixel Factory Data Center is located just north of Richmond Virginia, a rich Tier 2 market undergoing rapid expansive growth. We have cultivated a unique niche of service specializing in reliable and robust connectivity to meet the needs of small individual clients all the way to partnerships with international multi-location clients. Our commitment to customers is to provide personal on-site support with exceptional customer service to ensure your colocation and connectivity needs scale with your needs
