(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Data center services provider SoftLayer Technologies (www.softlayer.com) announced on Wednesday it has opened three new data center pods in the company’s Dallas, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. data center facilities.
The new pods add capacity for 20,000 additional servers, bringing SoftLayer’s total capacity to more than 45,000 physical machines.
“We continue gaining momentum every year. We broke more projections and records this year than last, and 2010 will bring even more of the same,” says Lance Crosby, CEO of SoftLayer. “These three new pods meet the customer demand increases that we expect in the very near future. And they are only preliminary measures in our growth strategy for 2010. We have some big plans which we can’t wait to share with everyone.”
The new pods are part of SoftLayer’s “unique approach to data center design,” says the company.
Each of the company’s geographically diverse data centers have multiple pods built to identical specifications with the same best-in-class methodologies.
This level of standardization across all its geographic locations lets SoftLayer optimize key data center performance variables, including space, power, network, personnel, and internal infrastructure, says SoftLayer.
Earlier this year, SoftLayer introduced CloudLayer line of cloud services, including CloudLayer Storage, CloudLayer CDN, CloudLayer Computing, and Bare Metal Cloud.
