Colocation operator AtlantaNAP will add 13,500 square feet of capacity to its Enterprise Data Center 2 as enterprise companies drive demand for colocation.
The space will be ready to occupy by April 1 2009 the company said. Jeff Hinkle, President of the Georgia based company, said ''the expansion will serve strong demand from Fortune 1000 enterprise clients for active and disaster recovery space.
The company's CEO Jeff Hinkle said: "As the economy has deteriorated, many CIOs are more concerned about their budgets and are optimizing their use of space with the AtlantaNAP. They minimize costs for the level of operations excellence they receive and are able to apply this budget to other critical areas in their department. It also allow for a redirection of capital outlay into a monthly expense, allowing the company to efficiently continue operations in this environment of tight capital.''
''We believe this will bring in additional enterprise and corporate customers who are looking for the best facility, security and service that is offered in the industry,'' said Hinkle.
''AtlantaNAP boasts a security system consisting of a 10 foot razor fence, key carded entry, redundant security camera servers, biometric handprint scanning, and armed security guards.''

The company recently appointed Eric Blaier, as vice president of sales and marketing with a remit to revamp the company's marketing, drive sales in the dedicated server business and expand the company's enterprise client base.
