The company stated that a strong client demand in the area is the reason for adding another 60 megawatts to its data center.<\/p>\n<p>Located at 2500 W. Union Hills, the 120-megawatt facility sits in a 55-acre campus, enclosed within a steel fence and brandishing a five-layer secure entrance. The second phase of the facility will increase colocation space and will be designed to Tier III standards, which translates to a maximum of one hour and a half of annual downtime and N+1 fault tolerant power outage protection of up to 72 hours.<\/p>\n<h2>Future-proof infrastructure<\/h2>\n<p>Aligned Energy\u2019s data center guarantees a power usage efficiency of 1.15, with multiple substations nearby. Several UPS blocks of 2.25 megawatts are concurrently maintained, while N+4 power is achieved through four-engine blocks of N+1 generators. Rack densities are offered up to 50 kW, enabling tenants to deploy legacy systems coupled with computational applications without losing latency. The facility is carrier-neutral, with providers such as CenturyLink, Zayo, Level(3), Cox, SRP and Cyberverse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Forward-looking businesses today require a data center provider that offers advanced, future-proofing infrastructure solutions that keep pace with the demands of the client\u2019s ever evolving requirements on density and scalability,<\/em>\u201d said Aligned Energy CEO Andrew Schaap, in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n<p>Phoenix is one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/economy-watch-over-half-of-worlds-data-center-revenue-come-from-20-metros\/\">top data center markets<\/a> in the world. The Arizona Commerce Authority implements an incentive program for companies providing colocation services, in the form of a 20-year sales tax exemption. Additionally, Phoenix\u2019s Internet speed is among the country\u2019s fastest, according to the Ookla Net Index.<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo courtesy of Aligned Energy<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company will add 60 megawatts with its 200,000-square-foot expansion.
