(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation and managed hosting provider Latisys (www.latisys.com) announced on Wednesday it is constructing a 93,000 square foot Tier 3 data center in the heart of Orange County.
The announcement follows Latisys’ recent refinancing of its existing $65 million senior credit facility with a new $110 million facility to continue to scale its data center operations and services.
With this expansion, Latisys says it will be the largest data center operator in Orange County.
In addition to its Irvine location, the company has data centers in Ashburn, Virginia, Denver, and Chicago.
The Orange County 2 data center is located within several hundred feet of Latisys’ current Irvine, California OC1 data center.
The facility features an initial 10MW of utility power, and is being designed to support an average power density up to 250 watts per square foot.
In addition to doubling the high density, raised floor square footage available to Latisys customers, the new Orange County facility will deliver colocation, cloud services and managed hosting services, and access to a wide selection of existing redundant fiber networks.
The data center will accommodate customer deployments ranging in size from single cabinets and colocation cages to large private suites.
Customer installations will be ready for deployment in the second quarter of 2011, says the company.
“Today’s expansion announcement reflects a sizable investment and commitment to Orange County enterprise customers, and builds further upon our belief that Latisys’ is the premier destination for customers that need or want to grow, yet can’t scale their own infrastructure in the Orange County market today,” says Latisys CEO Peter Stevenson.
Latisys provides a range of services, including managed hosting, high density colocation and disaster recovery services, to Fortune 500 firms and mid-sized organizations to government agencies.
