Data Journey acquires Bed Bath & Beyond data center in North Carolina

Data Journey this week announced it has acquired the former purpose-built enterprise data center from Bed Bath & Beyond data center in Claremont, Catawba County, and has converted the facility into a colocation facility. This marks the company’s second facility acquisition, after acquiring the Westland Bunker data center in Houston, Texas, earlier this year. 
 

Matt Wells, co-founder of Data Journey, said of the Claremont site: “We’ve created a first-class colocation center with significant space and power capacity for future deployments as well as expansion within the current structure and acreage for additional builds.”

The 47,500 square-foot data center, now wholly owned by Data Journey, offers 9,500 square feet of immediately-available raised floor space, and the ability to expand capacity to provide more than 3MW of critical load. The company said additional shell space in the center is already prepared for further expansion.

“We have chosen Data Journey as our primary data center and will be consolidating in Catawba County over the next 18 months,” says Rick Sanford, director of professional services of 10X Consulting Group.
