DataBank, a supplier of enterprise-grade colocation, connectivity, and managed services, has just announced the completion of seven data center expansions throughout the United States, including two in Atlanta and one each in Dallas, Las Vegas, San Diego, Irvine, and Kansas City. In the previous year, these colocation facilities have increased their overall capacity by more than 15 megawatts of electricity and 114,000 additional square feet of floor area combined.
“For organizations planning to deploy, or for existing customers already set up in these data centers, these expansions give them more room to grow,” said Tony Qorri, the Vice President of Construction at DataBank. “These expansions give them more room to grow. When it comes time to increase their computing capabilities, they won't have to go through the trouble and disruption of shifting to a new data center.”
Colocation clients also wouldn’t have to worry about the cost of building out their existing facilities or migrating applications to a new data center - which may help avoid risk. With these expansions, the seven DataBank data centers now enable clients to consume more power and leverage abundant raised floor space.

Each data center would utilize dual-factor authentication for client access to the facilities, in addition to “cutting-edge” power redundancy and cooling systems designed with the latest technological advancements. DataBank offers CCTV as well as manpower that is available around the clock, seven days a week. Additional regulations, including SSAE18, SOC1, SOC2, HIPAA, GLBA, and PCI-DSS, have also been met by the data centers.
The seven colocation data centers are placed strategically in the main metropolitan areas of the United States. They would serve as significant interconnect hubs to extend customer network infrastructure to today’s edge, which is where end-users would like to have minimal latency.
DataBank has developed 74 data centers around the United States, all of which are less than 50 miles away from at least 70 percent of the country’s population. These data centers provide a combined total of 2.79 million square feet of elevated floor area and 378 megawatts of electricity for mission-critical IT workloads.
