Inside Switch's Las Vegas SuperNAP facility, from the comapny's website
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- According to a release issued Friday, Switch Communications, operator of the enormous (407,000 square-foot) Las Vegas SuperNAP facility, is planning a new facility in Northern Las Vegas, which will add another 300,000 square feet to the company?s existing footprint in the city.
The new space will be located roughly 15 miles to the north of the company?s Lad Vegas Digital Exchange Campus, the site of the SuperNAP, and will be built out using the company?s proprietary ?SwitchMOD? component-oriented modular data center deployment.
The new expansion announcement comes just a few weeks after Switch announced plans to expand the SuperNAP by about 1.6 million square feet, including 500,000 square feet of office space. The construction on that expansion is expected to break ground in March of 2012.
The location of the newly announced location (dubbed the Switch Las Vegas-North Campus) is driven by the demand for ?Active-Active? environments with strict latency requirements that need redundant data centers to be located roughly 15 miles apart.
Switch says it has created the Active Resilient Colcation solution to meet that demand, involving a set of distributed data center campuses meeting the distance requirements. Adding to the resiliency, says the company, is Switch?s location in ?disaster-free? southern Nevada. The company calls Las Vegas the ?safest city in America.?
"Our customers are continuing to evolve and adopt the latest enterprise configurations," says Missy Young, executive vice president of colocation for Switch, quoted in the press release. "The addition of Switch Las Vegas - North will provide our customers with three separate data center ecosystems that satisfy the latency ranges for Active-Active solutions."
Switch says the recently announced expansions will bring the company?s total data center space in the region to 2.2 million square feet, making it ?the largest commercially available and independent technology ecosystem in the world.?
In addition to colocation, the company?s services include colcoation and ?cloud services,? which, according to the Switch website includes a retail ecosystem for purchasing capacity from ?the world?s most advanced clouds,? all located within the company?s facilities.
