In order to meet the ever growing demand for space and power, Global Switch is increasing its carrier neutral data centre capacity, reach and power densities over the globe

Amsterdam: Global Switch has received planning approval on stage 1 of its planned development of a major extension to its Amsterdam data centre, and is undergoing final detailed design on stages 2 and 3 to increase the overall size of the data centre from 420,000 sq ft to 732,000 sq ft.

Paris: a new data centre (Paris West) has been built adjacent to the existing Paris East building, which has created the city's largest data centre campus with around 560,000 sq ft of floor space. Launched in November 2011, the Tier III+ world class Paris West has one of the largest technical floor plates in France and has been designed with a base power density of 1.5kW/sq m (with the flexibility to be adapted for high density environments as required).

 

 

Sydney: Global Switch is currently in the construction procurement stage for a second data centre (Sydney East). The 262,000 sq ft building will be adjacent to Global Switch's existing data centre (Sydney West) creating a campus of around 710,000 sq ft of floor space. It will have best-in-class environmental credentials and will target a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Rating. In addition, Global Switch is also investing in an additional power supply into Sydney West to meet existing customer demand.

Singapore: With full planning approval, Global Switch is in the final detailed design phase to build a best-in-class fully-fitted data centre in Singapore. The 269,000 sq ft new data centre will be located in Woodlands, a suburb in the northern part of Singapore, approximately 15km from the existing 285,000 sq ft Global Switch data centre in Tai Seng Avenue. The new data centre will have access to two independent utility HV power feeds and will be a leading example of an environmentally sustainable data centre.

Global Switch is committed to stay ahead in the game and offer its top-of- the class service worldwide.
