Atlanta,
GA, USA -- T5 Data Centers, innovators in providing secure,
customizable, hyperscale computing environments for enterprise
companies, today announced that the company has finalized the
purchase of a new 40-acre property in Douglas County as the location
for T5@Atlanta II, the company's second data center in the Atlanta
region. The land acquisition marks the first step in the construction
of a new 130,000-square-foot data center, purpose-built to meet the
needs of hyperscale enterprise customers.
When
it is completed, the T5@Atlanta II data center will feature 10 MW of
critical power load and 66,667 square feet of white floor space. The
campus will benefit from redundant service from two nearby power
substations, and the robust fiber telecommunications infrastructure
that already services the region. The data center will be fault
tolerant and engineered to withstand 185 mile-per-hour winds. T5 also
plans to construct T5@Atlanta II as a LEED-certified building with
air cooled mechanical chillers and a 1.32 annualized PUE.
The
T5@Atlanta II campus also has sufficient space to accommodate a
second data center building to be constructed at some point in the
future, bringing the total capacity to 20+ MW.
The
new T5@Atlanta II campus in Douglas County complements T5@Atlanta,
the 105,000-square-foot flagship data center that T5 built in
Alpharetta, Georgia, in 2011. This is the twelfth customizable data
center to be built by T5 Data Centers, and the second data center in
the Atlanta market. Atlanta also serves as the home of T5 Data
Centers' corporate headquarters.
"Atlanta
has proven itself to be a growing market for enterprise-class data
center users," said Pete Marin, CEO of T5 Data Centers. "These
discerning companies continue to be attracted to Atlanta by the
inexpensive and reliable power, easy access, a talented workforce and
competitive tax incentives. T5 was one of the earlier data center
providers to commit to the Atlanta region and we recognized that now
is an ideal time to strengthen that commitment with the construction
of T5@Atlanta II."
As
with all T5 facilities, T5@Atlanta II will provide services in full
compliance with SOC2, PCI, HIPAA and other data security regulations
and audit controls. Tenants also will be able to take advantage of T5
Facilities Management (T5FM), which serves as an extension to
customers' IT staff, offering facilities operations and management,
remote hands, and IT consulting services. T5FM is responsible for T5
Data Centers' record of 100 percent uptime across its portfolio.
