Peak 10, Inc. is in the final construction phase of its new 60,000-sq-ft data center facility in Tampa on Parkedge Drive in the University of South Florida area of Tampa. The new data center is currently undergoing data center commissioning in which all systems and components of the facility are tested both individually and collectively at full load to ensure they remain operational if utility power is lost. The 60,000-sq-ft data center is slated to open this July.
The building is constructed of a two-story concrete precast hardened shell to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. Situated outside the area’s flood zone on 6.88 acres in Hidden River Corporate Park, the facility offers 23,600 sq ft of office and support space and 36,400 square feet of data center space. It is the company’s first facility designed and constructed completely from the ground up. Designed, constructed, and operated to meet industry Tier 3 standards, the new Peak 10 data center will provide 99.982% uptime, 72-hour power outage protection and concurrently maintainable systems. Other features include a multi-faceted security system, advanced fire protection, disaster recovery suites and expansion space.
