In addition to the Chicago expansion, Telx has also expanded its 56 Marietta facility in Atlanta and 600 West 7th facility in Los Angeles over the last six months.
The combined 20,000 square feet of high density space in Chicago and Atlanta accommodate 6kW per cabinet, or 330 watts per square foot.
The newly expanded Atlanta data center phase offers 20,000 square feet of cage space and cabinet, 20-inch raised floor, 12 feet floor-to-ceiling clearance, 150 lbs per square foot loading capacity, man trap entrance with biometric and card key access controls, 3 power feeds from 2 diverse grids backed by generators and UPS with N+1 redundancy, access to over 100 carriers and the Telx Internet Exchange, and both sites feature direct, low latency and cost-efficient cross connects to the buildings’ interconnection rooms, operated by Telx.
