(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Managed hosting and colocation solutions provider Hosting.com (www.hosting.com) plans to open a a 13,000 square foot corporate office complex and a 30,000 square foot data center in the Denver metro area by late August, providing multiple layers of connectivity, redundancy, and security.
According to the company’s Thursday announcement, Hosting.com will retrofit an historic Ford Model T factory for the expansion, which will be altered to incorporate Hosting.com’s “Smart Design Standards.” The site also features a strong network topology and multiple power grids, and it is in close proximity to fully redundant fiber feeds from Tier 1 providers.
It will provide as much as 10Gb per second redundant connectivity for bandwidth routing optimization, as well as 200 watts per square foot of power and cooling, a first for data centers of its kind in downtown Denver, where demand for secure, reliable colocation space continues to outpace availability.
“We are excited to serve a very large need in Denver with this new data center,” Hosting.com chief executive officer Art Zeile said in a statement. “Colocation space with our high level of service and support is absent from downtown. We will grow aggressively over the next 24 months through a national platform of managed and secure services; we are excited that Denver is at the center of our growth.”
In addition to hosting and colocation services, the new facility will support Hosting.com’s new cloud hosting platforms, Cloud Enterprise and Cloud Private. Hosting.com’s cloud and virtualization solutions coupled with a geographically dispersed data center network allows their clients to take full advantage of their services for redundancy, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery solutions for their Web enabled businesses and technology infrastructure.
Hosting.com chief operating officer Joel Daly said that operating five SAS 70 Type II certified data centers across the US, provides clients with unparalleled solution and service options. “Our business continuity and disaster recovery enhancements will provide clients with cost-effective means to achieve and test true disaster recovery and fault tolerance,” Daly said in a statement.
This is the first major announcement from Hosting.com since it was acquired by application hosting provider HostMySite (www.hostmysite.com) in May as the first part of HostMySite’s plan to become the “go-to” national platform for managed services, colocation, dedicated servers and virtualized application services.
