Telx says it acquired 5,300 square feet of usable space, the equivalent of 220 cabinets, on the well-known Manhattan carrier hotel's ninth floor. The company says the deal "further positions Telx as the New York City market leader in colocation and interconnection services."

According to the company's Monday announcement, Telx is the "market leader" in New York's two most notable technology buildings, the 60 Hudson Street facility, and 111 8th Avenue, enabling customers to set up primary and redundant sites in New York with Telx.

Telx has a data sheet set up online for its facility at 111 8th.

The company says the expansion was driven by increased demand for interconnection from its financial services and enterprise customers.

The new facility is ready for occupancy, and will immediately begin offering Telx's full suite of solutions.

"Our sales and marketing teams are doing a phenomenal job promoting our value to the enterprise market," said Tesh Durvasula, chief marketing and business officer of Telx, in the press release. "After a strong first Quarter, this expansion space is necessary to satisfy the growing demand of our customers and prospects requiring interconnection options to fulfill their technology needs.  After a year of national expansion and customer growth, we are continuing to see strong demand in our core markets."

Telx's expansion news follows several weeks of steady data center announcements. Earlier on Tuesday, theWHIR reported that Rackspace is building a new green facility in the UK. And Friday, Peak 10 reported that it is adding a third data center in Louisville, Kentucky to support local demand.
