TORONTO, Feb. 5, 2014 /CNW/ - Argosy Networks Corp., a data center co-location services provider, today announced that it has initiated 40,000 square-foot data center build in Toronto.
The data center build will be executed in phases. Phase 1, which represents 200 racks, is slated to open in Summer 2014.
Argosy's new data center will be designed to have A/B power distribution (2N) via multiple UPS, N+1 diesel generator backup, state-of-the-art cooling systems, round the clock monitoring, and SSAE 16 compliance. The data center will be carrier-neutral with dual, diverse 10 Gb links to Toronto's telecommunication hub (151 Front Street West), giving customer access to more than 150 national and international network providers.
The data center will offer up to 8.0 megawatts of critical load, giving Argosy the ability to service clients with high-density requirements.
"Our new data center offers customers a scalable, reliable and cost-effective solution for enterprises looking to expand and reduce cost in the Toronto area while optimizing performance with direct, low-latency access to Canada's premier telecommunication hub," said Harish Srinivasa, President and CEO, Argosy Networks.
