Nov 14, 2022 | Posted by MadalineDunn
HostDime has released design plans for a new facility to be built in Guadalajara, Mexico. The 3MW "Andromeda" data center is reportedly due to open in 2024, and will be certified by the International Computer Room Experts Association (ICREA) V standard, and certified with the Uptime Institute for Tier IV reliability.
The facility will be built on three acres of land, which was acquired in 2021, spanning 100,000 sqft (9,300 sqm) of space on three floors, with private data halls as well as colocation cage space and lockable racks. It also shared its plans for a helicopter pad on the roof to transport clients to the facility in emergencies around the highly congested Guadalajara, Mexico metro area.
"We are very excited to release the design of HostDime's New Data Center in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, in the cradle of innovation, 'The Silicon Valley of Mexico.' Guadalajara has innovative technology roots and being the second largest metropolitan city in Mexico, we know this new data center facility will properly serve the surrounding market," said Eduardo Basulto Jiménez, CEO of HostDime México.
