ColoSpace, Inc., New England's fastest growing managed hosting and outsourced datacenter services company has opened a new 16,000 square foot datacenter and network operations center (NOC) on Winter Street, in Waltham, Massachusetts, in the center of the 128 Technology Belt.
Co-founder and COO Aaron Sawchuk, said this new facility will serve the immediate needs of local firms desiring high availability Internet access from more than six carriers currently serving their facility, and along with high density (200 watt per square foot) electrical capacity. Sawchuk said: "Many firms in the area are faced with serious shortages of power to handle the new blade server environments, and as summer approaches they will feel the impact of their undersized cooling systems.
ColoSpace currently manages several thousand servers, as well as provides space and power for many more non-managed customer owned servers, located in private cabinets and cages within their six existing datacenters.
The Waltham site was previously built out for a national network provider, Giant Loops in 2001, and after upgrading is now reopening under ColoSpace ownership.
"We have been experiencing tremendous growth over the past several years, and were thrilled to find this opportunity, to roll out a new datacenter location in a mere eight weeks, compared to the normal 12-18 months it would take us to fit out an entirely new facility, Sawchuk added.
All six ColoSpace facilities are currently undergoing their 2008 Type II SAS 70 audits, which will be complete this summer, making them part of the select group of datacenter facilities in the Northeast meeting the new stringent standards
