PAETEC Opens New Data Center Near Boston (updated)
According to Arunas Chesonis,
chairman and CEO, PAETEC, the center not only serves companies in New England,
but those nationwide with a need for geographic redundancy or a presence on the
East Coast for reduced latency. The two-story, 92,700 square feet facility
includes nearly an acre of raised floor space available for customers to
collocate their servers, routers, and other communication equipment.
The new data center marks the first
of many steps PAETEC will take over the next 18 months to open eight more data
centers across the country, with new centers in Houston, Milwaukee, and Phoenix
scheduled for later this year. Across the nation, PAETEC has 1.4 million square
feet or more than 32 acres of data center space. It serves customers in financial
services, government, healthcare, higher education, and hospitality industries.
