Startups, tech companies drive DataBank data center expansion in San Diego
DataBank’s presence in the SoCal market continues to grow as the company announces the expansion of its San Diego Data Center facility, SAN1.
DataBank is adding over 40,000 square feet of raised floor space, nearly tripling the data center’s current space. The expansion brings the total capacity of the site to 60,000 square feet. A second phase to the expansion is planned and anticipated to add four additional megawatts, bringing the site’s total IT capacity to 7.5 MW.
“DataBank originally acquired this data center site from legacy Kio. The customer demand was already there at that time, and the region continues to gain the attention of startups and tech companies looking for access to major markets. We see this as a great opportunity to meet the needs of customers who are relying on first-class IT infrastructure to gain traction in the booming San Diego metro,” says DataBank Vice President of Construction Tony Qorri.
DataBank’s premier World Trade data center facility, SAN1, is a carrier-neutral interconnection hub with access to 10+ on-site carriers and many Internet, fiber, interconnect, and cross-connect options. The tier III facility also features security measures that include dual-factor biometric authentication, video surveillance, 7x24x365 staffed security, mantrap, CCTV, and bulletproof glass in the lobby.
