HostDime and its Eatonville data center

HostDime recently celebrated a significant milestone in the construction of its 100,000-square-foot Eatonville data center with the last structural beam placed on the facility.

According to Manny Vivar, the company’s CEO, the $37 million project will be the “Penn Station of Florida.” He added: “All fiber carriers want to be in a data center near other traffic.”

Alongside the data center, the building will include a HostDime office, which, according to Vivar, will allow the company to increase its local workforce to 250 by 2028.

After many delays over the last few years, the facility, which is due to be completed by the end of the year, will be the only Tier IV public data center in Central Florida. Currently, HostDime is operating or building 10 data centers around the world.
