Expedient has completed a third upgrade to one of its Pittsburgh data centers, updating the power capabilities and sustainability of the facility. ACM at Nova Place saw a $14 million investment, an upgrade which includes a physical expansion of the building.
The company added 10,000 square feet of new raised floor space and cloud capacity, for infrastructure as a service and disaster recovery as a service solutions (IaaS and DRaaS). Several more thousand square feet were dedicated to fully redundant switchgear, UPS systems, and emergency generators of up to two megawatts of demand and fuel capacity.
