Strong demand for services drives construction of new 200,000-sq.-ft. facility featuring superior colocation and Class A office space
Dallas, TX (February 10, 2014) – Global data center services provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) has scheduled a ground breaking ceremony on Feb. 13 from 11 a.m. to noon CST for its second data center in San Antonio. The new site, located at 9500 Westover Hills Blvd., is expected to have 180,000 square feet of raised floor space along with 22,000 square feet of Class A office space that customers can use.
“Our new data center in San Antonio will be capable of delivering 36 megawatts of critical power capacity and be an integral part of the CyrusOne National Internet Exchange (National IX), which delivers interconnection between metro-enabled sites within the CyrusOne facility footprint and beyond,” said Kevin Timmons, chief technology officer of CyrusOne. “It’s located on 22 acres of land in the Westover Hills area, just a few miles away from our first San Antonio data center, and has easy access to major highways, the airport, hotels, and restaurants. We’re excited to begin construction and would like to thank local officials and the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation for the collaborative and business-friendly climate they have created in San Antonio.”
CyrusOne’s San Antonio footprint increases to more than 300,000 square feet upon full completion of the new facility, which is being built using the company’s innovative Massively Modular® design engineering approach. Massively Modular optimizes materials sourcing and enables delivery of industry-leading energy optimization and just-in-time data hall inventory to meet customer demand. CyrusOne expects the first phase of the new site to be completed during the third quarter.
CyrusOne opened San Antonio’s first enterprise-class multi-tenant data center in 2012, and strong customer demand has driven the need to construct a second CyrusOne facility. San Antonio is located in central Texas, away from natural-disaster zones and offers a robust power-grid infrastructure.
