New
Purpose-Built Data Center Now Available for Lease for
Business-Critical Enterprise Customers, First Lease Signed with L.A.
Infrastructure Provider.
Los
Angeles, CA, USA (November 29, 2012) -- T5
Data Centers, innovators in providing
state-of-the-art, customizable, and highly reliable computing support
for any enterprise, today announced the completion and commissioning
of its new T5@LA data center at 444 North Nash Street, El Segundo,
California. The T5 team has successfully commissioned the first
3.7-megawatts (3.7 MWs) of what will ultimately be 16.65 MWs of
critical power, so the new data center is ready for mission-critical
operations for lease to enterprise customers.
In
addition, T5 announced the signing of the first lease at T5@LA. The
Los Angeles based critical infrastructure agency is the first
enterprise customer and will occupy a custom-built data hall. They
selected T5@LA because of the facility's seismic rating, dedicated
power supply, and redundant systems that ensure uninterrupted
service. They also selected T5 Data Centers because of the company's
reputation for reliability and data security. Occupancy will be in
2013.
The
new T5@LA data center is a purpose-built, 205,000-square-foot
building on a 6.1 acre site. Designed as a high-quality, fully
equipped wholesale data center, the facility is customizable to
customer needs and features 120,000 square feet of raised floor. The
building is built from structurally enhanced steel and has been
designed to withstand earthquakes with a seismic importance factor of
1.5. T5@LA also has a dedicated, on-site power substation to ensure
high reliability of electricity at a reduced "wholesale"
cost.
"Los
Angeles has been an underserved market for server-ready data center
services" said Pete Marin, President of T5. "T5@LA is the
first purpose built wholesale data center in the Los Angeles basin.
We're seeing great demand for our high quality and super-efficient
design."
The
new T5@LA data center was designed for large enterprise customers
seeking a customizable, "always-on" computing environment.
The facility takes advantage of cool coastal air to help chill the
data halls via an indirect evaporative process that uses
approximately half the energy of traditional data center designs. T5
maintains round-the-clock engineering and support staff, as well as
redundant systems to deliver the best service possible as well as
peace of mind. The company already supports a number of Fortune 200
companies at its other data center facilities.
"We
are very excited to welcome our first tenant to T5@LA," said
Aaron Wangenheim Executive Vice President of T5, responsible for
marketing and leasing. "T5@LA was chosen by this discerning
customer because of our ability to deliver the right solution and the
right efficiencies. Their critical applications required the most
resilient data center possible, and we're excited to welcome them to
T5@LA.”
