Company Sells 19 Megawatts of Power in One Month
LAS VEGAS, NV – Switch, the developer of the world-renowned SUPERNAPS, today announced it has sold a record-breaking 19 megawatts of power to 23 clients during the month of August. SUPERNAP 8 opened in April 2013 and represents Switch’s most innovative data center design to date.
Switch is the world’s most powerful technology solutions ecosystem providing unrivaled colocation, connectivity, cloud and content solutions for more than 600 global clients, from passionate startups to Fortune 100 powerhouses.
August sales figures show that enterprise technology users in North America believe Switch to be the premier leader in the data center industry.
“Most of the industry knows that Switch designs and builds the world’s best data centers, but our unmatched differentiators are Switch’s independent co-ops to purchase connectivity, cloud and content for our clients,” said Switch Executive Vice President of Colocation Missy Young. “Once enterprise clients start to work with those purchasing verticals they quickly realize that no other ecosystem in the world can bring about a total technology return on investment like the SUPERNAPS.”
The SUPERNAPS provide density, cooling, security and energy efficiency of unprecedented scale and performance.
