) announced on Tuesday it has added over 20,000 square feet of raised floor, Tier III data center space at its Blue Ridge Data Center.


The opening represents ongoing growth and expansion for Carpathia, as it continues to expand its federal and enterprise customer base in the Washington, D.C. and Phoenix, Arizona metro areas by providing "highly secure and flexible managed hosting services" and "aggressive plans aimed at delivering the most cost effective solutions."

The Blue Ridge Data Center combines some of the most cost-effective data center space in the Washington, D.C. region with managed hosting and disaster recovery services. It features significant power benefits over other regional data centers with two 20-megawatt electrical substations on site that provide greater flexibility and scale. 

Virginia has been a hot market for data center activity in the past couple years, with strong demand coming from government, enterprises, system integrators and other corporate customers. 

Most recently, Terremark nearly completed construction on its new "green" facility in Culpepper, Virginia. Earlier this month, IceWEB built a $16.5 million "green" data center and office complex in Page County, while Power Loft and Validus DC Systems announced in March they are building a 220,000 square foot facility in Manassas.

Carpathia will offer power configurations for both high and low density hosting solutions with the ability to scale to meet ongoing energy demands. The uniqueness of having two electrical substations on site will allow Carpathia to deliver enterprises and federal agencies tremendous flexibility and assurance to meet the most stringent hosting requirements.

The Blue Ridge Data Center is located in Harrisonburg, Virginia, just 100 miles from Washington, D.C. The facility is situated outside the 50-mile blast zone and over 50 miles from the nearest nuclear power plant.  Designed in partnership with DBT Development Group, Total Site Solutions and Carpathia Hosting, the facility was created to meet or exceed the Uptime Institute's Tier III Data Center classifications.

"Rising utility rates and limited availability of power drove us to partner with DBT and Total Site Solutions to develop a data center option that gives our customers an extremely competitive price point for their complex hosting requirements," says Brent Bensten, senior director of operations at Carpathia Hosting. "At the same time, we have delivered a facility that meets the strict data center standards government agencies and enterprises require including secure managed hosting and disaster recovery services."
