A leading health care provider and insurer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upmc.com\/Pages\/default.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">UPMC<\/a> will be the anchor tenant and has selected Involta to build, own and operate the new facility. The high-security and maintainable data center will also be home to mission-critical computer systems and will provide related managed services for other Involta clients. As reported by the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tribtoday.com\/news\/business\/2016\/10\/involta-plans-16m-data-center-in-pa\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Tribune Chronicle<\/a>, <\/em>the development project will cost $16 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInvolta has developed a unique competency in delivering both data center and managed services to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/healthcare\/\" target=\"_blank\">health care<\/a> industry. UPMC\u2019s decision to choose Involta demonstrates its commitment to wanting nothing but the best for its patients and physicians,\u201d Bruce Lehrman, founder &amp; CEO of Involta, said in prepared remarks.<\/p>\n<p>The new facility will comprise roughly 40,000 square feet, including conditioned data center space, additional storage space, mechanical and electrical infrastructure, and additional office space for client and business continuity use. The data center will be concurrently maintainable, with redundant capacity (power, cooling and connectivity) components and multiple independent distribution paths serving the computer equipment. The facility will also feature biometric security and 24\/7\/365 monitoring and access.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNorthpointe and its proximity to the Pittsburgh marketplace make it very attractive to companies with a national brand, such as Involta, to invest. The utility infrastructure the Armstrong County Industrial Development Council built in Northpointe is first class, and includes one of the most reliable electric systems and a world-class telecommunications system with multiple sources of independent fiber connecting Northpointe with the entire Pittsburgh region,\u201d Senator Don White said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Involta<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPMC has selected the company to develop, own and operate the multi-tenant facility at which it will be the anchor tenant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1055,"featured_media":1004158632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21755,21782,21742,10,1494],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1004158631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-centers","category-development","category-latest","category-northeast","category-philadelphia"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) -
