Simply put, we are very excited to announce our upcoming expansion to a second location.
Almost exactly 2 years ago, I wrote about our goal to fill and subsequently expand our datacenter by the end of 2010. While we didn’t quite make the aggressive timeline set forth in that blog post, I think being able to announce an expansion of our colocation services at all in this day and age is reason enough to celebrate. Our plan is to keep our current datacenter, which we have indeed outgrown, and add a second datacenter just a couple of miles away. The facilities are incredible and, no disrespect intended to our current location, far superior in almost every way. More power. More cooling. More space. In short, an even better place to colocate your servers.
With 2 facilities, we will be able to offer a level of redundancy that is very difficult to find on a local and affordable level. And with the same honest and genuine approach that has seen us thrive since 1994, we hope this is the first of several similar announcements.
