Continuum Data Centers opened 20,000 sq ft of space in Lombard, 22 miles outside Chicago.

Continuum provides customers with affordable, high-quality colocation from 1U servers to full cabinets, private suites and low-latency transport to 350 E. Cermak in Chicago, the firm said.

"We are excited to give organizations the affordability that has been missing in the Chicago suburban colocation market. We feel quality colocation should be available to everyone, not just enterprise level customers, specifically during these tough economic times" said Tom Chaffin, Managing Partner of Continuum. "We have seen tremendous success, and growth, within the past two months. Our second phase expansion has been moved to the planning stage much sooner than expected."
