(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center operator QTS (www.qualitytech.com) announced on Wednesday it has expanded its Santa Clara data center, which will offer Silicon Valley businesses up to an additional 70,000 square feet of data center space.
Last month, the company held an open house for the newly-expanded data center, which is located at 2807 Mission College Boulevard in Santa Clara, California.
The new expansion provides customers up to 15MW of power, industry-leading design, energy efficiency, and SAS-70 type II certification.
The expansion follows the recent $25 million investment from global growth equity firm General Atlantic, which was provided to facilitate additional growth and expansion of the QTS footprint nationally.
“QTS has seen an explosion in interest and a corollary growth in demand for the past few years,” says Chad Williams, chairman and CEO of QTS. “As such, we are continuing down a path of prudent acquisition and expansions to adequately meet the needs of our customers, both today and in the future. This most recent Santa Clara expansion demonstrates our commitment, both to our customers and to the community in which we work.”
The company has seen continued growth in interest for high-quality, outsourced data center facilities, prompting this most recent expansion.
The entire Northern California area continues to see demand in data center space overall. Digital Realty Trust announced Tuesday it has acquired two shell data centers buildings in Santa Clara.
A wide range of businesses, including Web 2.0, media and entertainment, and multi-national corporations, are represented within QTS’ current Santa Clara data center.
