Completion
of Purpose-Built, Customizable Facility Gives T5 a Leadership
Presence in Burgeoning Chicago Data Center Market.
Elk
Grove Village, IL, USA -- T5 Data Centers, innovators in
providing secure, customizable, hyperscale computing environments for
enterprise companies, has completed construction of the T5@Chicago
data center in one of the hottest markets in the United States.
The
completion of the T5@Chicago facility just seven months after
beginning construction demonstrates T5's ability to build data
centers quickly and in a robust nature that appeals to the corporate
enterprise. The data center now offers up to 10 MW of available
critical power capacity in the important submarket of Elk Grove
Village.
The
colocation market continues to thrive in the U.S. represented by
quarter over quarter leasing records posted by data center providers.
The evaluation process of choosing whether to outsource or build your
own data center used to be much more complicated and strenuous.
However, T5 Data Centers has simplified this decision-making process
for companies through its ability to build extremely resilient
facilities in a more cost effective, efficient and timely manner.
"Our
extensive development process from the initial building design stages
to collaborating with our customers during installation has
eliminated much of the complexity companies have when undertaking
data center initiatives," said David Horowitz, Vice President of
Sales for T5 Data Centers. "It's all about listening to the
customer and delivering on what is important to them. These are
mission-critical projects and customers not only demand operational
performance and continuous uptime, but they also want to avoid giving
up control of their infrastructure. The level of security,
unparalleled customer support and true visibility into a customer's
infrastructure within a T5 facility is superior to owning and
operating themselves."
T5
Data Centers has already completed leases in T5@Chicago with a
variety of Fortune 1000 companies who were looking for a partner that
offered a customizable solution in a highly secure environment.
"We
have preleased most of the Phase 1 capacity at T5@Chicago and are
already embarking on plans for further expansion," said
Horowitz. "Chicago continues to be one of the hottest data
center markets in the country, and T5 is in a unique position to be
able to offer such a robust and flexible solution."
"ComEd
has invested billions to upgrade the power delivery infrastructure in
Northern Illinois, including a recent substation capacity expansion
benefiting the Elk Grove area" said Sheila Owens, Vice President
of Economic Development, of ComEd. "This will help ensure
consistent and reliable service for customers at T5 Data Centers."
The
newly completed T5@Chicago data center is a purpose-built,
LEED-certified data center providing server-ready space for
enterprise customers in a highly secure environment. In addition to
providing secured, private data halls in a concurrently maintainable
and fault-tolerant design, T5@Chicago also provides premium common
area amenities to accommodate its customers' employees.
