Hewlett-Packard is looking for planning approval to build a $100 million data center in Colorado Springs.
Local media reported that the company filed a request on April 14 to build a two-story, 251,521-sq ft data center next to its existing three-building, 1.1 million-square-foot complex, in the north west of the city.
HP has had a colocation data center at the Rockrimmon Boulevard campus in the city since 1994 as well as two smaller data centers.
The Gazette reported that the planned HP facility would be the fourth major data center opened or expanded in the Springs since 2006, "including a 108,450-square-foot data center Verizon Wireless is building in a former semiconductor plant it acquired in December that will open in early 2010; a 113,400-square-foot data center FedEx Corp. moved from a smaller local facility in July; and a 175,000-square-foot data center Progressive Corp. opened in 2006."
