Switch announces record sales and construction update for SuperNAP-8

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Switch, the designer and operator of today's most powerful business technology ecosystems, announced record-breaking sales for the month of September. Switch sold 533 cabinets of space and 7.6 MVA of power over a 30-day time period.

"Companies have found that by partnering with the multi-trillion dollar buying power of the Switch technology business ecosystem they can substantially improve their tech ROI while staying in lock-step with the newest offerings in connectivity and cloud services," said Rob Roy, CEO and founder of Switch.

During the last year, Switch has delivered 40 MVA to its clients at the Switch SuperNAP-7 facility. There are two units of work that describe the size of a data center: the amount of deliverable, critical load that the UPS system can support (MVA of UPS), and the deliverable amount of CFM/tons of cooling that the HVAC system can supply.

The SuperNAP-7 design has 84 MVA of UPS and over 10 million CFM available to deliver to its clients. "No other data center on earth can match it," said Missy Young, EVP of sales. "These numbers should end the debate on what facility is the world's largest modular data center."

Switch's record breaking sales in September were distributed across approximately 40 new clients and will serve to bring the SuperNAP up to 84% occupancy.

Update for SuperNAP-8

While SuperNAP-7 nears capacity, Switch has also been busy constructing its eighth facility in Las Vegas. The firm anticipates SuperNAP-8 it will be client-ready in May 2013.

Switch continues to make new advancements in data center technologies. The new facility will house several new best-of-breed data center innovations, all designed by Switch's CEO, Rob Roy, who currently holds 169 patented and patent-pending data center inventions.

"We continue to see extremely high demand for the high density, high efficiency, highly resilient deployments that Switch provides," said Young. "With our modular designs, massive campuses and highly available power, we are well situated in Las Vegas to continue to build the most advanced modular data center technology ecosystems for the most demanding clients."
