Peak 10 Unveils Its Third Data Center on Charlotte Campus
Leading Managed Services Provider Expands
Facilities to Accommodate Market Growth
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (July 24,
2009) – Peak 10, Inc., the leading independent data center operator and managed
services provider, today announced the opening of its third enterprise-class
data center on its Charlotte campus. The new facility provides additional raised
floor space, increasing the entire overall Charlotte campus footprint to nearly
70,000 square feet. This investment provides increased capacity for
delivering and supporting virtual and cloud-based services.
“The
continued investment in our infrastructure is the direct result of the steady
growth of our local and national customer base,” said Pat O’Brien, the vice
president and general manager of Peak 10 Charlotte. “As we have expanded our
solutions and customer reach, Charlotte’s growth has been a consistent leader
for the company over the past eight years. Our Peak 10 team is excited about
this expansion, as it allows us to deliver managed IT and data center solutions
to even more area businesses and sets high standards of technology services
leadership.”
With the second Charlotte facility tracking to reach
capacity benchmarks, the company began planning and initial work began on this
facility in the first quarter of 2009. Its addition was necessary to meet the
increasing new customer demand for Peak 10’s data center and managed services
solutions. The multi-million dollar project was managed by Peak 10’s
construction management partner, R.T. Dooley (a Balfour Beatty company), one of
the leading and most respected contractors in the Carolinas and
nationally.
“Peak 10 has implemented a rigorous commissioning process,
tested by engineering firm PTS Consulting Group, PLC, to ensure that our data
center integrity and operational stability meet the strict standards Peak 10
customers demand,” said Ray Caponi, senior facility manager for Peak 10. “The
new Charlotte data center builds upon Peak 10’s proven expertise in
infrastructure design and operation of enterprise-class data centers.
Characteristics of the facility include state of the art control systems,
around-the-clock onsite support, tiered physical security, robust private meshed
network, power and cooling redundancy, and 24x7 authorized customer access.”
“We continue to experience consistent, organic growth fueled by
organizations that understand the importance and need for a trusted and scalable
infrastructure partner,” said David Jones, the president and chief executive
officer of Peak 10. “The expansion of our third-generation Charlotte data
center, our 16th facility, assures businesses that the most current
infrastructure and systems continue to evolve and are accessible at Peak 10.
With this addition we continue our ability to scale with growth of our
investment in technology, engineering and virtual services to support the
advancement of our cloud-based solutions in addition to Peak 10’s other core
services and support.”
