Green House Data to Expand Data Center to Meet Growing Demand
CHEYENNE, WY – September 20, 2011 - Green House Data, one of the nation’s first 100% green data centers offering cloud hosting and colocation services, announced today that they have expanded their modular data center facility with 3000 sq. ft. of new colocation space. As additional facilities are being planned and built, the company strives to continually raise expectations of an energy efficient data center.
Business leaders are learning that greening IT and IT infrastructure are not only good for the environment, but it is now an essential part of smart business. Although green power can come at a premium, the amount of money spent on infrastructure services can actually be reduced overall by working with companies, like Green House Data, who pass on their energy savings on to their customers.
“We are excited to see the demand for green IT infrastructure growing so rapidly,” stated Shawn Mills, President of Green House Data. “Businesses are benefitting by leveraging our investments in next generation energy efficient technologies and operational experience to lower their total carbon output, while, at the same time, lowering the amount they are spending to manage their IT.”
The new colocation space was presold by 30% prior to opening due to the great number of amenities offered. Included in the recent expansion are non-raised floors with ESD flooring, direct evaporative cooling system, energy efficient UPSs and expanded power and cooling capacity with up to 8KW per cabinet. Pairing these features with a location that offers both a relative absence of natural disaster and a favorable economic climate has proven to be a winning combination.
“Our company was attracted to partner with Green House Data for our colocation needs for several reasons: their sustainable business model, SSAE 16, Type II compliancy and excellent service standards," stated Brian Noecker, Vice President of Information Technology for Thought Equity Motion. "Their reliability, high performance and data center security have been top notch.”
