US data center services provider ViaWest has closed US$65m of debt financing – money it plans to invest into expanding its data center footprint and portfolio of services, the company announced Tuesday.

ViaWest has been expanding its inventory aggressively since it was acquired in 2010 by Oak Hill Capital Partners. The company expanded its presence in two US markets over the course of 2011, launching data centers in the Portland, Oregon, and Dallas, Texas, regions.

It also expanded its product portfolio, adding a series of Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings, including cloud storage, back-up and compute, as well as managed security.

ViaWest CFO Michael Krza said the additional financial commitment from new and existing lenders was a result of its growth and reputation.

“With this additional funding, we will continue to execute on our strategic growth plans, invest in new and expanded data center facilities and further develop the latest technologies and managed services our clients require,” Krza said.

The debt financing was led by RBC Capital Markets. This was an expansion of ViaWest’s credit facility. A number of institutional lenders participated in loan, including Barclays Private Credit Partners Fund L.P. and Solar Capital Ltd.

There has been no shortage of announcements flowing into the multi-tenant data center space in the US this year.

A variety of players in the market managed to secure either debt of private-equity capital. These were both wholesale and retail data center providers, including DuPont Fabros, Vantage, Telx, RagingWire and QTS.
