Elk
Grove Village, IL, USA -- T5
Data Centers, innovators in providing secure,
customizable, hyperscale computing environments for enterprise
companies, today announced the second phase of the build out of its
T5@Chicago data center. T5@Chicago is a highly secured purpose built,
208,000 square-foot data center in Elk Grove Village. This next phase
will deliver a secure data hall consisting of 2 megawatts (mW) of
available data center capacity in one of the premier data center
markets in the country.
The
Chicagoland area continues to experience an increase in demand from
local and regional companies, along with cloud providers who are
trying to keep pace with the adoption of hybrid cloud solutions. With
more than 150 million square feet of office space in the Chicago
area, there is a growing migration by enterprise customers from on
premise computing to specialized colocation/wholesale and cloud
services. T5@Chicago offers customers a customized data center
solution that provides secure private data halls in a concurrently
maintainable and fault tolerant design.
"The
demand from corporate enterprise seeking data center space in Chicago
continues to grow in a market that has very limited supply. As
vacancy rates hover around 5 percent, we are in a unique position to
deliver a high-quality data center solution that will provide
customers complete control of their infrastructure, as if it were
their own mission critical environment," said David Horowitz, VP
of Sales and Marketing for T5 Data Centers. "Network and power
continue to be the life blood of a data center. We originally chose
this location because of the robust fiber network and resilient
utility infrastructure in Elk Grove Village. Beyond the initial data
center, our adjacent site can accommodate another
170,000-square-foot,16mW facility to support future growth."
