OnRamp, an Austin, Texas-based data center services provider, announced the opening of a data center in Raleigh, North Carolina.

“OnRamp is growing our capacity to meet the demand for our data center services, and we are excited to expand our footprint on the East Coast in the Raleigh market,” said OnRamp CEO Lucas Braun. “With two locations, each on a separate power grid, we can ensure both geographic and power grid diversity for all OnRamp customers between the Texas and North Carolina locations.”

The company provides colocation, hosting, cloud computing and disaster recovery services. OnRamp’s first data center is in its home city of Austin.

Located in the Research Triangle Park, OnRamp’s Raleigh data center is a 12,000 sq ft facility. OnRamp says its staff offer support all the way up through the application layer, and its data centers use its own “Redundant Isolated Path Power Architecture” to provide 2N power infrastructure from utility to the rack.

“Raleigh, like Austin, is a city filled with companies and entrepreneurs on the cutting edge of technology innovation,” OnRamp president Ryan Robinson said. “The city is ripe with seasoned professionals in the technology industry, and we have assembled a world-class team of technical support personnel to manage our Network Operations Center to begin operations this week.”

OnRamp’s addition of a second data center facility comes on the heels of the company’s expansion of its Austin data center in the second quarter of 2012. The newly provisioned square footage at OnRamp’s Austin data center incorporated 3MW of power and two additional power paths.
