Hurricane Electric Doubles Capacity
November 1, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web hosting provider Hurricane Electric (he.net) announced on Tuesday it has completed the second phase build out of its new colocation facility located in Silicon Valley, resulting in more than double the capacity available six months ago.
Hurricane Electric says that although it opened its facility just over half a year ago, the demand for colocation space and managed data housing was so high that the initial build-out sold out almost immediately, leading the second phase to start a little earlier than anticipated. Now, the company has added five additional private suites and hundreds of cabinets.
Hurricane Electric’s new colocation facility is equipped with around-the-clock on-site staff, HVAC environmental systems with upflow air conditioning units, conditioned uninterruptible power and back-up generators to prevent energy surges or loss of power, a high-tech security system with digital video surveillance custom designed to monitor every entrance and a high-security card key system that monitors and limits access to certain areas in the colocation facility.
“Business is booming. The response to our new colocation facility has been overwhelmingly positive and demand for colocation space is very strong,” says Mike Leber, president of Hurricane Electric. “We were astonished to see how fast initial capacity sold out at our new facility and are excited to have a 208,000 square foot facility that will allow us ample room to increase capacity as future demand continues to grow.”
