Cyxtera Expands Data Center Capacity in Top Tier North American Markets
Company secures new 9-MW facility in Silicon Valley
MIAMI, Fla. —Cyxtera announced an expanded footprint to serve enterprise and service provider customers with a new data center in Silicon Valley and additional capacity in its existing facilities in Silicon Valley and Chicago. The new Silicon Valley data center, located in Santa Clara, is a 9-MW data center currently under construction and is expected to be ready for customers in late 2022. The company is also adding capacity in existing facilities in Silicon Valley and Chicago in July and December of 2021, respectively.
Cyxtera’s new Silicon Valley facility, which is being built by wholesale data center developer Prime Data Centers, is a four-story, 121,000-square-foot data center that will be Cyxtera’s third building at its SFO4 data center campus. The carrier-neutral facility is strategically located at the center of major fiber routes following diverse paths to the top Tier 1 long haul and metro providers, with access to new dark fiber routes to all major interconnect facilities in Silicon Valley. One of the facility’s most significant advantages is its proximity to the thriving Bay Area, where it can meet the demand for ultralow latency workloads and deliver content closer to the edge.
