Jan 8, 2009 : i/o Finds New Phoenix Data Center, HQ
📅 - January 8 , 2009 -- As consumer demand continues to rise, Arizona-based i/o Data Centers (iodatacenters.com -> hostinger.com) is finding new space for customer systems in a newly acquired 530,000 square foot industrial facility in Phoenix, which it will convert into its next data center and corporate headquarters.
According to the company's Thursday announcement, the new site will be called i/o Data Centers "Phoenix ONE" and will begin operating June 1, 2009, helping to provide enterprise data services for customers wishing to avoid the capital expenditures involved in running IT in-house.
Once completed, the fully funded Phoenix ONE site plan will more than quadruple its current 125,000 square footprint in Arizona, housed at its Scottsdale ONE facility and headquarters. News of the development's announcement comes less than a month after i/o announced a $56 million cash infusion from venture capital firm Sterling Partners of Chicago.
"The Phoenix facility is a great fit for i/o's data center and the local community," Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said in a statement. "It is perfectly situated in Central Phoenix and offers the size and abundant supply of power to attract numerous Fortune 500 companies, while providing high-wage, highly-skilled job opportunities for local Phoenix residents. We welcome i/o to Phoenix."
Despite the current economic downturn i/o's latest bold infrastructure investment is representative of an industry that shows little sign of slowdown. In December, data center industry association AFCOM (afcom.com) released the results of a survey, which found that nearly two-thirds of large data centers operators will maintain or increase their budgets in 2009.
According to the company, Phoenix ONE will be among the largest and most powerful data centers commercially available. The facility will also include a private electric utility sub-station designed to grow from its currently available 40 megawatts of power which will be expanded to 120.
"Our customers need scalable power and space to support their IT operations, and we help them do it in a capital-efficient way," said i/o Data Centers president Anthony Wanger said in a statement. "Even though the economy is slow, the demand for high quality data center power has continued to be strong."
