CRG West has announced a major expansion of data center space at its flagship site at the One Wilshire building in Downtown Los Angeles. The 25,000 square foot data center expansion on the 27th floor at the One Wilshire Building allows CRG West to offer companies the combination of 150 Watts per square foot and the ability to interconnect with nearly 300 different networks and carriers.
The on-going growth at One Wilshire is the result of expansions from loyal CRG West clients including Creative Thought, Hutchison Global, Korea Telecom, and Pacific Crossing Limited.
In addition, CRG West is building out an additional 30,000 square feet of space at its second Los Angeles data center, Wilshire Annex, to meet the needs of new customer commitments including Slide, eHarmony and 3jane IndieClick. The space is engineered to accommodate an impressive 175 watts per square foot. Often referred to as the "Postal Annex," Wilshire Annex is a massive 450,000 square foot data center that was originally constructed in 1939 and designed for use as a central mail facility for the United States Post Office. After a significant renovation in the late 1990s, Wilshire Annex is now ready to meet the cooling and power requirements of content delivery networks, hosting companies and enterprises. Wilshire Annex offers diverse fiber points of entry, exceptional ceiling heights and an on-site technician staff.
"The demand for space in our data centers has never been stronger and this trend shows no sign of slowing. Internet companies from around the globe are growing their data center deployments and network presence in an effort to meet the increasing desire for High Definition and other rich content available on the net," said David Dunn, senior vice president of CRG West. "The industry's enthusiasm surrounding our continued service upgrades and expansion in Los Angeles is exciting to witness as we continue our commitment to provide best-in-class colocation, interconnection and peering services at One Wilshire and Wilshire Annex," continued Dunn.
