QTS announced it has completed the acquisition of Herakles, a data center in Northern California. The 92,000 sq ft Tier III data center offers 52,600 sq ft of raised floor space and 9MW of power in Sacramento. The terms of the acquisition were not announced.

With the acquisition of Herakles, QTS expands its footprint in California to three wholly owned and operated facilities. The facility will be fully integrated into QTS’ data center portfolio as the QTS Sacramento Data Center.

Chad Williams, CEO of QTS, said: “Located just 120 miles north of our Santa Clara, California, data center and less than 90 miles from San Francisco, this facility expands our Northern California presence."

California is among the most requested markets for QTS customers looking to expand the size of their data center footprint.

“We’re proud of what our team has accomplished at Herakles, and when it came time to transition the asset to the current ownership, it was important to us to make the right decision on behalf of our customers,” said Lou Kirchner, president and CEO of Herakles.   

“QTS’ acquisition of the Herakles data center now gives us the opportunity to remain in the data center environment that has proven to be very beneficial to our business while giving us the advantages of a relationship with a national data center provider,” said Gary Lamb, founder and chief technology officer-Next Cloud, Inc., and Herakles customer.

The Bank Street Group served as exclusive financial advisor to Herakles in the transaction.
