Compass Datacenters Begins Construction Of First Two Data Centers On Phoenix Campus
The campus will be expandable to 350 MW in the future.
Compass Datacenters has begun construction of the first two data centers on its campus in the Phoenix suburb of Goodyear, Arizona. The two buildings will deliver a combined 72 MW of IT load, and construction is projected to be completed in Q4 2019. The master plan for the first series of buildings on the campus will deliver 144 MW of IT load, with the campus capable of growth up to 350 MW with an on-site 230kV substation.
“Greater Phoenix is a natural next step for Compass since it’s an important location for cloud and hyperscale customers, due to its geographic location, availability of fiber connectivity, affordable cost of data center operations, and the rarity of natural disasters,” said Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass. “We have been working closely with a number of cloud, colocation, and hyperscale customers on data center projects on our campuses. The flexibility of our data center design along with our patented delivery methodology enables us to deliver just-in-time facilities customized to their specific requirements. These data centers will allow customers to reduce their on-going operating costs and will provide them with complete control over every element of the building — including security, campus network connectivity, operations and maintenance — all on the aggressive timeline they demand.”
