COLORADO
SPRINGS, Colo. (April 23, 2013) -- T5
Data Centers, innovators in providing
state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support
environments for any enterprise, has started construction on
T5@Colorado, its sixth data center complex, in Colorado Springs. The
new $800 million data center campus will be situated on 64 acres and
promises to offer businesses high reliability at lower operating
costs while boosting job creation in the area. Completion of the
first phase of the project is expected by Q1 2014.
T5@Colorado
is a purpose-built data center park designed to meet the immediate
Information Technology needs of modern business with the flexibility
to grow for the future. The data center campus promises 100 MW of
available power with sustainable, eco-friendly design capabilities
and offers power rates of $0.0444 per kilowatt-hour with the
potential to utilize free cooling over 97 percent of the year. It
will be ideal for either single-tenant enterprise users or wholesale
colocation with Tier II, III, or IV capability and unlimited design
flexibility to service requirements as diverse as cloud, big data or
high performance computing.
T5
continues to develop state-of-the-art data centers in strategic
locations to deliver maximum capacity, security and service with
minimal operating overhead. The new Colorado Springs campus will be
able to take advantage of the high plains climate by using the
cooler, drier external air to reduce air conditioning and operating
costs. The location also is strategically placed close to the Denver
Technology Center, a technology and telecommunications hub, and will
serve as a central data relay center to lower latency for
business-critical enterprise applications from coast to coast.
T5
executives anticipate that the new data center campus will create 400
- 600 new high-paying jobs in the area. Industry research indicates
that for every job directly created by the data center, there are
five jobs created indirectly.
"Colorado
Springs is the ideal location for the next phase of our expansion,"
said Peter Marin, President and CEO of T5 Data Centers. "This is
a vibrant, growing area with a strong and supportive business
climate, and the proximity to Denver, as well as local colleges and
military installations, gives us access to terrific talent and local
resources. We want this new data center campus to be groundbreaking
as an eco-friendly green facility, offering our customers the best
possible enterprise infrastructure and support services at
competitive rates."
Cloud
computing and data processing continue to be growth markets. A report
by Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Co. predicts that new construction for
large enterprise data centers will increase from $6 billion in 2012
to $12 billion by 2015. According to International Data Corporation,
spending on cloud computing services was expected to grow from $16.2
million in 2008 to $42 million by the end of 2012, making the IT
industry and data processing the fastest growing industry in the
United States.
