Compass Datacenters Completes Lease Agreement In Raleigh-Durham
Compass Datacenters has completed a customer lease agreement for an enterprise-class data center facility in Durham, NC, located within the prestigious Research Triangle Park (RTP). The agreement is with Windstream Hosted Solutions, which also recently signed an agreement for a Compass data center in suburban Nashville. Compass Datacenters will construct a standalone data center facility for Windstream in a data center campus that Compass is developing on land recently acquired in Durham. The 22,000-sq-ft center, which is scheduled to begin operation in 2013, will open with 10,000 sq ft of raised floor space, and will accommodate expansion up to four times that amount.
The Durham facility, which will be staffed around the clock from an onsite Network Operations Center, will support Windstream’s cloud infrastructure offerings, including public, private and hybrid cloud computing solutions. It dramatically improves the efficiency and availability of IT resources and applications in organizations, allowing enterprises to rapidly deploy additional capacity on an as-needed basis without capital investments, so they can reshape their environment on demand.
