T5
Begins Construction on Silicon Forest's Most Advanced Wholesale
Colocation Data Center to Accommodate Growing Demand for
Business-critical Computing in the Pacific Northwest.
Hillsboro,
OR, USA (September 16, 2014) -- T5
Data Centers™, innovators in providing
state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support
environments for any enterprise, today announced that the company has
broken ground on T5@Portland, a two building wholesale colocation
data center campus in suburban Portland. The company is also pleased
to announce that a Fortune 100 company has already leased
T5@Portland's first building.
T5@Portland
is the first purpose-built, state-of-the-art data center campus to be
constructed in the Silicon Forest. The new data center campus will
consist of two separate buildings; one of which has already been
pre-leased. The second building will be a 110,000 square foot, nine
(9) critical megawatt data center and pre-leasing is already underway
for this facility. The T5@Portland data centers should be ready for
occupancy in early summer 2015.
Like
T5's entire portfolio of data centers, T5@Portland's facilities are
purpose-built and offer server-ready IT solutions capable of housing
multiple independent data center tenants. T5@Portland is being
constructed to LEED Silver specification, and will take advantage of
the coastal Pacific Northwest climate to offset cooling costs and
maximize power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the data centers. The
T5@Portland data centers will also have extremely reliable power from
two redundant power feeds into the facility and are being designed as
high-performance, highly efficient, seismic secure, purpose-built
data centers.
"We
have built a national reputation for delivering high-quality data
centers that provide superior reliability," said Aaron
Wangenheim, Chief Marketing Officer for T5 Data Centers, "and
this project is another great example of that philosophy. T5@Portland
meets all the criteria that enterprise customers are looking for -
purpose built performance, high resiliency and low cost. T5's
strategy is to continue to build the best data centers in the best
locations."
In
addition to its technical specification, T5@Portland tenants will be
able to take advantage of the favorable business and economic climate
of Oregon, and specifically the City of Hillsboro. The area offers a
number of economic incentives, including tax exemptions to stimulate
e-commerce and technology companies, including significant sales and
property tax benefits. With the combination of low-cost
infrastructure, attractive economic incentives, flexible control over
customer operational space, and guaranteed power, T5@Portland
promises to be one of the most attractive corporate data center
colocation options in the Pacific Northwest.
T5@Portland
is one of seven sites across the United States within the T5 Data
Centers portfolio, all designed with the same attention to
reliability and service. Each data center is purpose-built to give
customers total control of their own dedicated data hall so T5's
customers can better manage their Total Cost of Occupancy.
