Inside io Data Centers' Phoenix One facility.
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Data center operator i/o Data Centers (www.iodatacenters.com) announced this week it has begun construction on the second phase of its flagship facility, Phoenix One.
The announcement follows recent news that i/o Data Centers has been selected by AAA Northern California, Nevada & Utah to design, build and operate its corporate data center.
The company says the data center's space has been selling rapidly, which prompted it to began the second phase expansion.
The construction start is about two years ahead of schedule for the largest data center in the Valley, which is converting a former manufacturing facility of more than 500,000 square feet into a home for co-located servers and network operations.
"We are extremely pleased with the demand we have seen so far," says CEO George Slessman.
Phase II will essentially double the size of the data center to 360,000 square feet.
The company will add a 20 MW power supply and 36 MW of backup power, as well as upgrade the onsite electric substation to handle the expansion.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
