Colovore has announced its plans to build a new data center in Santa Clara, California. The US data center company revealed that it would be developing its second facility in the city at 3060 Raymond Street. The data center is located adjacent to its existing facility at 1101 Space Park Drive. Colovore’s new data center will provide 9MW of high-density colocation power, which is liquid-cooled. In addition, the facility will offer 50kW per rack. Colovore expects the data center’s first phase to become live in Q1 2024.
The company revealed that it would not be tearing down the existing building on the site. It, however, noted that it would be retrofitting it. The data center will sit on a 1.7-acre plot in an existing two-story industrial building.
The President and Co-Founder of Colovore, Sean Holzknecht, said: “When we opened our doors in 2013, touting 20 kW per cabinet in our Phase 1, many thought ‘power density’ wasn’t a big issue at the time. We now support thousands of AI and GPU systems for Fortune 500 companies down to Silicon Valley startups in hundreds of cabinets, each drawing 15 – 50 kW per cab. The bottom line is that this data, and all these incredible AI and Big Data platforms, are really thirsty. The AI revolution is here, and simply put, these servers demand purpose-built, liquid-cooled, high-density colocation environments, and we look forward to continuing to deliver these innovative solutions to our customers.”
