DataBank, a DigitalBridge Group (NYSE: DBRG) portfolio data center company, has completed expansions at seven sites in Dallas, Las Vegas, San Diego, Irvine, Kansas City and two in Atlanta. Combined, these colocation facilities have added to their existing capacities over 15 MW of power and 114,000 raised square feet of floor space during the past 12 months.
DataBank’s facilities provide commercial and government customers with enterprise-class colocation, connectivity, and managed services. With these expansions, the seven data centers enable customers to consume more power and leverage abundant raised floor space. With more space and power, DataBank’s customers can avoid the risks of incurring the cost of building out their existing facilities or migrating applications to a new data center.
“For organizations planning to deploy, or for existing customers already set up in these data centers, these expansions give them more room to grow,” said Tony Qorri, DataBank VP-Construction. “[Customers] can avoid the hassle of moving to a new data center when it’s time to scale their compute resources.”
DataBank points out that the seven data centers are strategically located in top U.S. metros and serve as major interconnect hubs that extend customer network infrastructure to support low-latency edge applications.
Nationwide, the company operates 74 data centers in locations that DataBank claims are less than 50 miles from 70 percent of the U.S. population. In aggregate, these sites comprise 2.79 million square feet of raised floor space and 378 MW of power for critical IT loads.
According to the company, all sites comply with industry standards. Each data center features advanced power designs and cooling systems for redundancy as well as modern dual-factor authentication for client access to the facilities. For onsite security, DataBank provides 24/7/365 staffing and CCTV monitoring.
