The $75 million data center will provide next-generation cloud computing services.
TELUS has officially opened its state-of-the-art internet data center in Kamloops. One of eight TELUS internet data centers across Canada, the Kamloops Internet Data Center will serve as the foundation of TELUS’ next-generation cloud computing services for thousands of Canadian businesses. Designed to be scalable, the center has the capacity to increase its physical footprint and information storage capacity to meet the expanding information technology needs of clients well into the future.
TELUS invested $75 million to build the center, creating 200 local construction jobs. The center has created 75 permanent Canadian jobs, 25 of them in Kamloops. This significant investment is part of $3 billion in infrastructure and facilities upgrades TELUS is making across British Columbia from 2012 through 2014 and builds upon the $29 billion TELUS has already invested in operations and technology throughout the province since 2000.
