New
Construction to Begin on the State's First, Purpose-built, Wholesale
Data Center Scheduled for Completion in 2013.
Portland,
OR, USA (October 11, 2012) -- Atlanta-based T5
Data Centers, a leading data center owner and
operator supporting enterprise and wholesale data users, today
announced its expansion into the Pacific Northwest with a new
project, T5@Portland. T5 has acquired a 15-acre parcel of land in
Hillsboro, Oregon, and is finalizing design for construction of a
200,000 square-foot, LEED-certified data center facility. Once
completed, the project will be the only purpose-built, ground-up
wholesale data center in the state of Oregon.
Construction
of the new T5@Portland facility is scheduled to begin in early 2013,
with customer ready data halls delivered in early fall 2013. The data
center design is optimized to take into account the cool climate,
thereby reducing the amount of power and water used to operate the
facility. The center will include high-efficiency, indirect
evaporative cooling with custom air handlers.
"The
Pacific Northwest is a well-established destination for enterprise
users looking for safe, efficient data center solutions" said
Pete Marin, President of T5. "Hillsboro offers the best
combination of low taxes, low power costs, a reliable infrastructure
and easy access for out-of-region companies. We anticipate the
T5@Portland data center to be a showcase for responsible development,
and will demonstrate to customers that we can design and engineer to
embrace energy efficiencies while continuing to offer our clients the
resiliency and uptime they require."
As
a purpose-built building, the data center also will have a hardened
building shell that exceeds all seismic requirements, multiple
generators for power redundancy, as well as redundant power feeds
from the utility substation. Ultimately, the data center will deliver
12.25 MW of critical power with a power density up to 200
watts-per-square-foot. The T5@Portland data center will also include
an on-site office and support space, as well as 24/7 monitoring of
operations. Fiber connectivity is available from a dozen independent
service providers, and there are three transpacific landing stations
situated in Hillsboro.
T5
Data Centers is aggressively expanding its operations to meet growing
customer demand. In addition to T5@Portland, T5 offers wholesale
and/or enterprise data center space in the Dallas, Los Angeles,
Atlanta and Charlotte markets.
