The first phase of the $142 million, two-story data center will add more than 61,000 square feet of colocation space and include space for 1,450 cabinets. At full build, it will provide capacity for 2,950 cabinets.<\/p>\n

SV11 reportedly is targeting LEED Silver certification with an ultra-low design average annual Power Usage Effectiveness of 1.17.<\/p>\n
