According to the company's latest press release, the facility will be the new home for "applications and mission-critical data for large, mid-size and small companies competing in energy, distribution, financial and high-tech industries."

Clearview says its facility will create many new employment opportunities in Northern Dallas and fills a critical need for quality data center space in the Dallas/Forth Worth area. Other web hosting providers that have a data center facility in this area include Dataside (dataside.com) and Rackspace (rackspace.com).

Clearview says the data center sits on the footprint of a former facility belonging to an unnamed Fortune 500 company and has been updated with N+1 redundancy, dual-fed utility power with dual substations, uninterrupted power supply battery and generator backup.

The new facility has completed a SAS 70 Type II audit, says the company, and has multiple layered security that includes key code, card swipe, biometric hand scan and physical security guard checks.

The press release says the deal was brokered by David Glasscock of Colliers International (colliers.com), who says that finding a space that had once been a data center gave Clearview a major advantage because it was able to put its energy into renovating the building to become one of the most "current and secure centers in the region," rather than spending time and effort on new construction.

"Clearview is bringing a real value to this market. Other providers are scrambling to find power and reselling at a premium," says Jay Looney, a spokesperson for Clearview. "At Clearview we have planned our resources to deliver density-rich environments designed leveraging our 12 years of IT consulting experience. By doing this, we are able to plan for the future of both Clearview and our end users."

Headquartered in Dallas, Clearview says it offers "global IT outsourcing and advisory services" to companies of all sizes and industries and provides advice for everything from data center design to helpdesk procedures, to SLA advisory and management to remote support.
