The Planet to Celebrate Grand Opening of Eighth Data Center
2009-06-12
Plano, Texas, Facility Provides Colocation; Features ‘Green’ Design
HOUSTON, June 11, 2009 – The Planet, the global leader in IT hosting,
today announced it will host a ribbon-cutting event at its newly constructed
data center in the north Dallas suburb of Plano, Texas. The event, scheduled for
11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 16, will include remarks from The Planet Chairman & CEO
Douglas J. Erwin and Plano City Manager Thomas H. Muehlenbeck. Tours of the
106,000-square-foot, environmentally friendly facility will be offered.
The new data center — the company’s eighth — uses the latest modular cooling
technology from Turbine Air Systems (TAS), with high-efficiency, water-cooled
chillers that eliminate the possibility of an interior water leak. Colocation,
private racks, and Northstar Managed Hosting™ services will be offered in the
new facility, which brings The Planet’s total data center raised-floor footprint
to 224,000 square feet. Space is also available for a Business Continuity
Center, which provides office space for customers requiring a disaster recovery
base of operations during an outage.
“We’ve received substantial interest in our new highly efficient facilities from
customers looking to expand their IT infrastructure capabilities,” said The
Planet Vice President of Facilities Jeff Lowenberg. “This new space enables us
to accommodate the rapid colocation market growth we’ve seen in the Dallas area,
and we invite customers, prospects and partners to celebrate another significant
step forward in The Planet’s expansion.” For more event information and to
