(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Colocation and data center operator PAETEC Holding (www.paetec.com) announced on Tuesday it has opened its newest data center in Phoenix, Arizona.

The move comes less than two months after PAETEC opened its new data center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The new 4,400 square foot Phoenix data center is supported by a 24-hour TAC and backed by a 1.4MW backup generator, UPS scalable to 800kva, and an FM-200 fire suppression system.

The Phoenix data center offers businesses in the Southwest highly secure and scalable Colocation Services with capabilities up to 1Gbps, supported by a 24-hour Technical Assistance Center.

“We’ve seen the demand for data centers and network-based services increase, and we expect it to continue to pick up momentum over the next decade,” says Arunas Chesonis, chairman and CEO at PAETEC. “This new data center fits our strategy of enabling cloud-based technologies and business continuity options for our customers to safeguard information, decrease management needs, and reduce network latency.”

PAETEC’s data center solutions are hosted in its highly secure central office and colocation sites around the country.

In addition to the Phoenix and Milwaukee data centers, PAETEC also has facilities in Bethlehem and Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, Andover, Massachusetts and Houston.

The company says it plans to open several more data centers throughout the year.

PAETEC deploys 120 tons of circuit cooling capacity with the ability to increase to 240 tons, to keep the data center at an optimum temperature.
