Cervalis, a Shelton, Connecticut-based provider of data center services, has expanded business continuity space that compliments its Totowa, New Jersey, and Stamford, Connecticut, data centers. Because previously existing “seating facilities” were nearly full, the company has added a total of 38,000 sq ft of work area at the two sites.

The new facility in Totowa, New Jersey, is located about half a mile from the Cervalis data center in town, and the new facility in Stamford, Connecticut, is located on the third floor of the data center there.

The company has also invested in enhancing its Wappingers Falls, New York, facility. Work has begun on a major upgrade of the systems and components that provide chilled water to the data center

The upgrade includes replacement of two water-cooled chillers, a rebuild of the cooling towers, modernization of the major controls and replacement of several computer room air handlers. Cervalis is also installing a state-of-the-art water treatment system for the cooling towers and a new computer room humidification system.

John Vernazza, VP of sales and marketing at Cervalis, said the Northeast was a perfect region for the company's business. “We are very happy with the way that our business has developed and grown in all of our data center locations.”
