The company has added an additional 17MW of power at 70 Innerbelt, its carrier-neutral data center in Boston. The company says it will also make another 130,000 square feet available later this year and in 2009.

Tenants can choose to lease wholesale space supported by cooling or generator plants and completing the technical space themselves, or having CRG West build them a completed colocation data center. Additionally, CRG West will build and manage two Tier III central cooling and generator plants, which could be combined to provide Tier IV redundancy.

"Our enterprise data center offering allows a company to design and finance the improvements within the dedicated suite themselves or have CRG West build, operate and manage the environmentals as in a traditional colocation relationship," says David Dunn, senior VP of CRG West. "At 70 Innerbelt, the prospective tenant can determine the optimal balance between internal resources, IT timing and the balance sheet. We could even support data center container deployments; our facility will be that flexible."

Dunn says CRG West can deliver space within 90 to 120 days. One of the newest Boston customers, financial technology and IT services provider Eze Castle Integration, recently licensed more than 40 cabinets at 70 Innerbelt.
 
CRG West also announced it has expanded cross connection offerings at its Miami Exchange data center facility. Located at 2115 NW 22nd Street , the 48,000 square-foot data center built to withstand a Category 5 hurricane and deliver a critical power load of up to 170 Watts per square foot.

FiberLight now connects the Miami Exchange and downtown Miami with redundant fiber optic cables, allowing CRG West to provide tenants with cross connections to more than 100 carriers and services providers. This significantly increases network performance and peering opportunities, providing tenants with direct access to 10 international carriers and peering on CRG West's Any2 Exchange.

CRG West now operates more than 2 million square feet of carrier hotel and data center space in nine facilities in Los Angeles, San Jose, Chicago, Boston, Miami and New York as well as Washington, D.C. The past two years has seen a gradual increase in the company's national footprint of data center and carrier hotel properties, as well as building its meet-me-room and interconnection business.
