Metro Project Begins
Over the next several months, QualityTech will be undertaking a significant expansion of our Atlanta Metro facility to provide another 130,000 square feet of finished Data Center Floor Space. Two large raised-floor pods will be added to the facility's existing raised-floor footprint of 200,000 square feet. This expansion will complete 65% of the planned raised-floor capacity of the facility and will provide a total of 330,000 square feet of customer-ready raised floor, making this one of the largest data centers in the nation. As QualityTech continues expanding its data center footprint, it becomes more important to develop innovative solutions in data center design, including the adoption of environmentally sustainable design practices. QualityTech has committed itself to follow philosophies and strategies for LEED certification, as outlined by the US Green Building Council and is planning to obtain LEED certification. The Metro facility's expansion will feature next-generation and green systems, including a Facilities Lab to test new energy conservation initiatives. The lab will focus on air and water economization technologies as well as new developments in power distribution and consumption technology. QualityTech will also deploy advanced cooling and delivery methods to the floor that will allow customers to reach even higher levels of power density. These improvements will be leveraged throughout the facility to improve the services delivered to your environment. It will make the Metro data center our Greenest data center to date.
