(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Interconnection and colocation data center operator Telx (www.telx.com) announced this week that it has added 20,000 square feet of new data center space to its building at 56 Marietta Street in Atlanta, providing a higher power density within the new area.
The new space, which the press release describes as “re-configured” is SAS 70 certified, and designed to support 200 watts per square foot of IT load. The company says it will meet or exceed the Uptime Institute’s Tier III data center rating.
Telx says the space will cater to the media and entertainment, education and research and healthcare verticals.
The new space is an upgrade for the company’s 56 Marietta St. facility, which Telx describes as having long been recognized as one of the most densely interconnected facilities in the Southeastern United States.
Much of the content of the announcement focuses on the facility’s ability to meet the power density needs of potential customers – power supply having emerged over the last few years as one of the key determining factors of a data center’s capacity, with limited power availability stifling data center growth in certain crowded markets recently.
"56 Marietta Street's roots are that of the pre-eminent carrier hotel in the Southeast and have long served the wide variety of prominent enterprise companies that call Atlanta home," says Michael Terlizzi, executive vice president of operations for Telx, quoted in the press release. "The transition of this space from low-density, high-interconnection to high-density, high-interconnection adds tremendous value to our customers and is unparalleled in the colocation and interconnection marketplaces."
Telx says the new space adds capacity not just for enterprise customers, but for the service providers who operate within the carrier facility. The announcement includes a comment from Matt Elkourie, CTO of hosting provider Colocube (www.colocube.com), who says the added density will help the company to meet its own customers’ future technology needs.
More information on the 56 Marietta facility, including a downloadable PDF fact sheet, is available from the facility’s section on the Telx website.

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.
