Kings
Mountain, NC, USA (January 6, 2016) -- T5
Data Centers™, innovators in providing
state-of-the-art, customizable and highly reliable computing support
environments, has broken ground on a new build-to-suit data center at
its Kings Mountain, North Carolina, campus. Construction of the new
enterprise-grade data center follows an exhaustive national search
led by Kristina Metzger, Data Center Specialist at CBRE Data Center
Solutions on behalf of an unnamed Fortune 50 company.
T5
Data Centers won the competitive bid for this build-to-suit contract
after meeting and exceeding the stringent specifications outlined in
a comprehensive Basis of Design and RFP. "Following a highly
competitive process, T5 was ultimately selected as the right solution
based on their extensive expertise in build-to-suit enterprise data
centers, the company's ability to meet and exceed a rigorous set of
requirements, and because T5@Kings Mountain proved to be an ideal
location," said Kristina Metzger of CBRE. Ultimately T5 Data
Centers will achieve several Uptime Institute Certifications
including: Tier III Certification of Design Documents, Tier III
Certification of Constructed Facility, and Tier III Gold
Certification of Operational Sustainability.
In
addition to T5's design and engineering team having responsibility
for the facility's construction, T5 Facilities Management (T5FM) will
be responsible for on-site building operations management and systems
support.
"This
new contract is a real testament to the discerning customer's
recognition of T5's expertise and excellence in building and
operating true enterprise quality data center environments. We
brought a solution to the table that included design and construction
expertise, a proven data center location, and best-in-class
facilities management capabilities," said Aaron Wangenheim,
Chief Operating Officer for T5 Data Centers.
T5
has been designing and building customized data centers from the
ground up for 20 years. The company recently completed a similar
project for a tenant at its T5@Portland campus. T5 Data Centers
maintains seven data center campuses strategically situated across
the country. T5's Kings Mountain campus has the added advantage of
being located in North Carolina, since the state recently passed the
North Carolina Competes Act, which includes tax incentives for data
center operations, including power and equipment.
