Global Data Center Services Provider CyrusOne Says Customers to Benefit from Arizona Data Center Legislation

CyrusOne offering space at its newest, largest, most energy-efficient data center in Phoenix

Dallas, TX (June 19, 2013) –Global data center services provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) today said that new Arizona data center legislation will benefit customers, and, in particular, California companies interested in cost-effectively locating an IT deployment in an area of the country with low rates of seismic activity, access to a robust fiber network, a highly educated technology workforce, and low-latency connectivity to West Coast cities.

“As a founding member of the Arizona Data Center Coalition and the owner of what will be the largest multi-tenant data center in Arizona, we’re excited to offer large enterprise and web-scale companies an opportunity to benefit from sales tax exemptions on new data center investment,” said Stuart Levinsky, western region general manager for CyrusOne. “Arizona was already a prime location for a data center, given its low rate of natural hazards and its business-friendly environment. Now, these new tax incentives provide a unique advantage to Arizona since most states don’t provide them to customers. We estimate that large enterprises or web-scale companies taking 5 megawatts could now expect to save roughly $30 million or more over a 10-year period when including power savings.”

Large Data Center and Legislation Benefits Customers
CyrusOne’s Phoenix data center is part of a master-planned campus built on 56 acres of land in the technology corridor just outside of Phoenix in Chandler, Ariz. which includes top technology companies such as Intel, eBay, GoDaddy, and others. Upon completion, it will be one of the largest and most energy-efficient multi-tenant data centers in the country, with a facility footprint of nearly 1,000,000 square feet and power capacity of 100 megawatts delivered from an onsite substation.

CyrusOne’s unique Massively Modular® facility design approach enables quick deployment of customer data center requirements, including single-purpose-built dedicated facilities as well as shared infrastructure solutions.
