Infocrossing, Inc, a provider of selective IT infrastructure, enterprise application and business process outsourcing services, has announced it has upgraded its Tempe, Arizona data center with the major power, cabling and cooling capabilities required to double the capacity for high density computing. As a result, Infocrossing has increased its capacity for its clients to take advantage of the processing power of high density computing configurations such as densely racked servers and blade servers.
"Infocrossing's clients rely on our network of five, fully-redundant data centers for us to manage their advanced computing platforms that support their business applications," said Infocrossing CTO Dave Leonard. "We proactively designed this upgrade to ensure the latest infrastructure is in place for today's new technology developments as well as the innovation coming in the future. With Infocrossing's Tempe data center upgrade, we have expanded our capacity for our clients to maximize densely-racked servers, blade servers and other new technology driving their business or providing a competitive edge. We were able to increase the productive capacity of the data center without a physical expansion."
Infocrossing's upgraded Tempe data center supports more computing per square foot in its high density areas than in its low density floor space, which houses traditional tape devices, servers and mainframes. The 60,000-square-foot Tempe facility was built in 1998 as a Class-A data center, and was engineered from the ground up to incorporate continued power and cooling upgrades as needed. This forward design ensured that power and cooling-the limiting factors of many data centers-could be systematically increased with major upgrades as needed without impacting the existing data center's fully redundant, high availability and highly-secure support. "Infocrossing's selective outsourcing services enable companies to leverage our IT infrastructure, 24 x 7 operations and unsurpassed expertise to maximize the return on existing technology investments and deploy the latest technologies," said Zach Lonstein, Chairman and CEO of Infocrossing. "This increase in high density computing support, implemented cost-effectively with no negative impact on our clients, demonstrates our continued commitment to innovatively support our clients' requirements."
