MONTREAL – Carrier-neutral colocation data centre provider Colo-D has announced expansion plans that it says will double its capacity from 6 to 12 megawatts by early next year.
The company’s first data centre, certified Tier III, is located in Drummondville. At more than 100,000 square feet in size, the building has the physical space required to further increase its capacity up to 20 megawatts.
Colo-D said that it has already signed contracts that account for 4 megawatts of capacity with multinational and local Quebec clients for supplying the technical infrastructure required for the deployment of enterprise cloud computing solutions in the province of Quebec. It added that the capacity increase, expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015, confirms its growing success in the North American colocation data centre solutions market.
“Last year, our objective was to become Quebec’s largest carrier-neutral colocation data centre within five years; we have not only already achieved this ambitious goal, we are now aiming even higher”, said CEO Patrick David, in the news release. “Doubling our capacity confirms to our clients that as their needs increase, we will meet them. Our investors and partners are very excited about how quickly we are growing; we’re very proud to be taking this next step, and have no doubt that it’s in the right direction.”
