Flexential's Philadelphia-Collegeville data center is a two-story precast concrete building in Upper Providence Township, Montgomery County. GlaxoSmithKline built it as a corporate data center, and the project won a PCI design award in 2010. Peak 10 + ViaWest, now Flexential, bought it from GSK in November 2017, and GSK kept its IT environment in the building as a customer. The site has room to double its raised floor.
The facility has 2(N+1) UPS, supports more than 80 kW per cabinet and is ready for liquid cooling. The University of Pennsylvania has housed its Betty supercomputer here since July 2025.
