Customer demand drives addition of 37,000 square feet of data center space at Houston geophysical center of excellence for seismic exploration computing campus
Houston, TX (April 16, 2014) – Global colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) recently expanded its Houston West II data center, adding 37,000 square feet and 6 megawatts of power capacity. The facility has a total footprint of 160,000 square feet with the ability to hold up to 18 megawatts of critical capacity at full build. The Houston West data center campus is the largest and first geophysical center of excellence for seismic exploration computing.
“Our decision to add 37,000 square feet and 6MW of critical power was driven by strong customer demand for data center space in a campus capable of delivering superior performance and the ability to support high density compute environments, said John Hatem, senior vice president, design and construction, CyrusOne.”
CyrusOne’s Houston West II data center is located 20 minutes west of downtown Houston. It is strategically positioned with access to significant and redundant utility power feeds, and access to one of the fastest and most reliable telecommunications networks, as it is located along a major fiber corridor in Houston.
In addition to the Houston West II facility, CyrusOne broke ground in March for its Houston West III data center which, upon completion, will include 428,000 square feet of raised floor capacity, 86,000 square feet of class A office space, and up to 96 megawatts (MW) of critical load. This third facility serves to increase data center capacity available at the Houston West campus to more than 1 million square feet.
