DRFortress racks them up

The expansion at the 3375 Koapaka Street facility was first announced last June, with the company saying it would help meet increased demand due to the pandemic.

"We continue to work toward our vision of becoming a major digital hub in the Pacific," said Fred Rodi, President and Founder of DRFortress.

"This expansion gives our customers the power and cooling they need to bring in their next-generation equipment while taking advantage of our rich mix of carriers and ISPs."

The added racks come with three anchor tenants, including cloud and IT infrastructure services company Stellar Technologies. "DRFortress is a true IT partner," said Wayne Johnson, CEO of Stellar Technologies.

"They configured our private cage design to meet the exact space and power requirements for our expansion in Hawaii. We now have the flexibility to scale our space as our business requirements evolve over the next few years."

DRFortress pods can support up to 18kW per cabinet.
