Internap Network Services Corporation announced that it will open a new data center in the New York metro area to address market demand for more premium data center capacity. The new facility will be Internap’s twelfth company-controlled facility across eight North American markets and is further evidence of the company executing its strategy to build a geographically-diversified platform of premium data centers. The new data center will feature Internap’s flexible portfolio of colocation and managed, dedicated and cloud hosting services as well as its route-optimized Performance IP and content delivery network services that combine to serve customers’ high-performance IT Infrastructure needs.

Located in Secaucus, N.J., Internap’s new data center is within easy access of the bridges and tunnels into Manhattan, the NJ Turnpike, the Secaucus Junction train station and the New York metro area’s three international airports. The 100,000 square-foot facility will leverage modular designs and the latest power and cooling technologies to deliver power densities of up to 12 kilowatt per cabinet to economically support long-term customer growth.

The facility will use Internap’s award-winning green data center building practices, including a high-efficiency UPS system, a cooling system that maximizes outside air for free cooling, reclaimed building materials and sustainable operational best practices. It will also feature a full range of customer amenities, including fully-equipped office areas, technical workspaces, dedicated customer work environments and a full-service customer lounge.
