Dallas, TX (September 5, 2013) – Phoenix colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) is pleased to announce that it is a finalist for the Governor’s Celebration of Innovation Award. Presented by the Arizona Technology Council in conjunction with the Arizona Commerce Authority, the Governor’s Celebration of Innovation Award recognizes companies and people impacting the lives of many through inspiration and innovation in the state of Arizona.
“It truly is an honor to be selected as a finalist for this award,” said Stuart Levinsky, general manager of the Western region for CyrusOne. “Arizona is a leader in providing colocation services that help CIOs meet the growing challenge of managing, storing, and distributing data. Our Phoenix data center continues to expand, and it plays a critical role in the growth of the CyrusOne National Internet Exchange. We’re thrilled that the Arizona Technology Council sees the importance of our vision and what it means for the state.”
“Phoenix is the first data center built from the ground up using CyrusOne’s innovative Massively Modular facility engineering approach, which optimizes data center space, scalability, and costs,” said Steven G. Zylstra, president and CEO of the Arizona Technology Council. “This type of innovation is what is driving our industry forward and creating the type of jobs that we need to sustain economic vitality. We congratulate CyrusOne on their recognition as a finalist for this prestigious award.”

Delivering a Best-in-Class Data Center with Robust Connectivity
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 is expected to 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.
Phoenix customers also have access to the CyrusOne National IX, which marries low-cost robust connectivity with the scale of a wholesale colocation solutions provider by virtually linking a dozen CyrusOne facilities in five metropolitan markets (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Phoenix). As a result, CyrusOne customers have an opportunity to go beyond the benefits of a single data center and efficiently architect a data center platform for their production or disaster recovery solution using multiple data centers connected by powerful, low-cost connectivity.
Moreover, the CyrusOne National IX provides customers with the opportunity to drive additional revenue by improving their immediately addressable market, to reduce expenses with a lower-cost option for point-to-point connectivity between data centers, and to improve service quality through higher levels of resiliency.
CyrusOne operates 25 carrier-neutral data center facilities across the United States, Europe, and Asia that give customers the flexibility and scale to perfectly match their specific growth needs. The company is renowned for exceptional service and for building enduring customer relationships and high customer satisfaction levels. Customers include nine of the global Fortune 20 companies and more than 100 of the Fortune 1000.
