Growing demand prompts the colocation data center to add space.
Dakota Carrier Network (DCN) is expanding its data center located at 4202 Coleman Street in Bismarck. Approved by DCN's owner companies in August 2015, the 30,000-sq-ft expansion project will provide 12 times the current server floor space available at the center and will increase the center's total space to 72,000 sq ft. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be complete by early 2017.
Prior to the expansion, DCN was already the largest colocation data center operator in North Dakota. DCN CEO Seth Arndorfer says the additional square footage is being added in response to continually increasing demand for secure and reliable IT solutions and services from companies in major metropolitan centers throughout the United States.
