Peak 10, Begins Construction On Data Center Campus In Tampa, Florida

National IT infrastructure and cloud services provider, Peak 10, Inc., started construction on its new 60,000-square-foot data center facility in Tampa, Florida, representing the company's first facility designed and constructed completely from the ground up.

According to the firm its new facility, located on Parkedge Drive in the University of South Florida area, will support Tampa's budding economic development and enable more businesses to benefit from Peak 10's secure, tailored cloud and data center services. The new facility will bring Peak 10's entire Tampa footprint to more than 129,000 square feet with three separate facilities, and Peak 10's total Florida footprint to roughly 230,000 square feet.

"Supporting our mission to continue expanding our robust national presence, we are excited to see the construction of our newest generation of data centers underway," said David Jones, President/CEO of Peak 10. "This facility will meet hurricane weather ratings for the Tampa region, making this a very sound facility for the IT business community. Adding a new facility across town from our existing Tampa data centers provides additional redundancy, and is connected via Peak 10's reliable network to our nine other major metropolitan locations."

Enabling Peak 10's Tampa presence to serve up to 600 more customers once complete, the facility will sit on 6.88 acres in Hidden River Corporate Park, offering 23,600 square feet of office and support space, and 36,400 square feet of datacenter space. The project will be built out into three separate data centers over time with the first data center expected to open in early 2015. Phases two and three will be built out over a five-year period.
