C I Host Invests for Growth, Expands Operations with New Texas Datacenter Facility

November 10, 2008; 05:15 AM

C I Host announced a new datacenter facility scheduled to open in 2009 in Dallas, Texas. The new facility maximizes best practices from the company's 11 years in business, along with providing improved technology to customers.  The company continues to offer industry-leading services for the same low prices. The new datacenter facilities expand the company's capabilities while consolidating operations to more efficiently serve customers worldwide.

The new datacenter facilities represent a transformation for the company, as the datacenter is built out for maximum performance, efficiency and availability for the customer - all before customers are ever moved in.

"CI Host is a pioneer in the Web hosting industry and we have the opportunity to use more than a decade of experiences to build a customer's ideal datacenter from the ground up - and then deliver it to them," said Erin Bullock, Executive Director of Business Development for CI Host.

The new facilities, which will open in February 2009, boast 60,000 square feet of space with diverse electrical feeds and fiber entrances, while a 1.5-megawatt power transformer and 750-kilowatt transformer will ably handle electrical loads. On-site fuel storage and a generator with Automatic Transfer Switches will help ensure consistent power availability.

Nicholas Giancola, Chief Network Architect at C I Host adds: "We're using the new facilities as a blank slate opportunity to provide the kind of technology and service our customers demand."

The new buildings are located in the Dallas Love Field Corridor, 6 miles from downtown Dallas, 2.5 miles from Love Field Airport, and 10 miles from DFW International Airport.

New customers will be added to the new facility in early 2009, while current CI Host customers will be migrated during the following six to twelve months.
