365 Main Inc., a developer and operator of data centers, has introduced SCALE 365, a national programme in which 365 Main will make large amounts of high-end data center real estate available at wholesale rates.
SCALE 365 was created for companies that need to build or expand large footprints of modern data center space quickly. The programme offers power, cooling, connectivity and security services in customizable private rooms of 5,000-to-20,000ft┬▓ within 365 Main's modern data centers. SCALE 365 also extends to the development of new, build-to-suit facilities. In addition to mitigating financial risk and allowing all customers to focus on their core competencies, SCALE 365 is designed to allow hosting and colocation providers to generate top-line revenue by remarketing leased space quickly at favorable margins, as well as to enable scalability and faster time to market for their services.
The company has announced that inaugural customers of the programme include Global Netoptex Inc. (GNi), a San Jose, California-based managed services provider whose clients include Symantec and the Oakland Raiders. GNi has leased more than 5,000ft┬▓ from 365 Main's flagship data center in San Francisco and is actively expanding in 365 Main's Arizona, Los Angeles and Virginia data centers, and NET2EZ, a Los Angeles, California-based provider of server colocation, multi-homed IP connectivity, metro Ethernet access services and network management services. In a separate announcement, 365 Main reported that NET2EZ has doubled its footprint in 365 Main's El Segundo, California data center with the lease of a second 15,000ft┬▓ colocation room.
"SCALE 365 allows hosting and colocation providers to expand quickly and generate revenue without facing the massive capital outlays required to build their own data centers, said Chris Dolan, chief executive officer of 365 Main. "The programme also allows enterprises that aren't interested in owning a corporate data center to lease all the raw space they need in a world-class facility and manage it as if it were their own, 365 days a year.
"Outsourcing our data center environment to an award-winning expert such as 365 Main lets us focus on what's running on the boxes as opposed to keeping the boxes running, said Pervez Delawalla, NET2EZ chief executive officer. "That means we're spending more time on our core competencies while we grow, which means we're providing better service to our customers.
