August 1, 2008 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center space provider DataSite (datasiteorlando.com) Orlando announced on Friday it will open a 130,000 square-foot purpose-built data center in south Orlando, Florida.
Set to begin accommodating tenants this September, the data center will help the region’s marketplace by offering large-scale, secure space for the operation of data storage equipment and networks.
“Data center space is very scarce in Central Florida, and the size of this facility makes it a unique asset for our community,” says Rob Wilson, director of sales and marketing for DataSite. “By expanding the infrastructure base for Central Florida?s high tech sector, DataSite Orlando will be a valuable tool in growing existing business and attracting new business to the region.”
DataSite Orlando will offer customers an alternative to investing millions of dollars in infrastructure upgrades to convert a space into a mission-critical facility.
The company will offer features essential for operating a data center, including fully customizable spaces in wide-ranging sizes, multiple uninterruptable power systems, 24-hour security and surveillance, biometrically-controlled access, advanced water-cooling capabilities.
Over the next year, DataSite Orlando is investing more than $26 million to provide the needed upgrades to the facility.
Design/build and facilities management company Total Site Solutions was recently awarded the contract to perform the upgrades and will complete the first phase of mechanical and electrical infrastructure by the end of August, as well as provide tech-related facility maintenance services for DataSite Orlando. Owned by BURGES Property + Company, DataSite Orlando says it supports Central Florida’s growing high technology industry with a secure world-class facility that accomodates the region’s diverse needs in purpose-built data centers.
The facility offers true redundancy with fail-safe power from two independent utility feeds from separate substations.
DataSite Orlando’s facility is located on 18 park-like acres, and combines robust infrastructure, customizable space and high security.
