Additional 6MW of power capacity is in response to the demand of major cloud providers and multinational companies seeking reliable infrastructure in Montréal.
ROOT Data Center has announced the expansion of its Montréal-based MTL-R2 facility, adding an additional 6MW of power capacity to Canada’s largest wholesale / hyperscale data center. The build of two new data halls is in response to the growing demand of major cloud providers and multinational companies seeking colocation services in Montréal.
The first of the new data halls at ROOT's MTL-R2 facility is currently under construction and the company has already signed agreements to provide the majority of the available power capacity, indicating the long-term commitment of its customers as well as ROOT’s long-term commitment to the region. Montréal continues to be a data center location of choice for hyperscalers, the high-technology industry, and enterprises in need of fast and reliable expansion and scalability. The deployment of the first of the two new data halls at ROOT’s MTL-R2 facility is projected to be completed by June 2018, with the second following by late summer.
