Xand expands data center in Hawthorne
In its fourth and largest expansion to date, Xand Corp. this spring is adding 5,000 square feet of raised floor space at its 11 Skyline Drive data center in Hawthorne.
Xand officials said the build-out is needed to accommodate the business growth of current clients, high demand for co-location services from new customers and Xand”™s new offering of virtualization and private cloud computing services.
A data-center infrastructure and business continuity provider founded in 1990, Xand with its latest build-out will have added approximately 12,000 square feet of capacity in the last 12 months, for a total of 30,000 square feet. The company also will more than double the cooling and power capacities in the facility. Construction will be completed in April.
James Kramer, Xand vice president of sales, in a press release said the data-center sector of the information technology market has had steady growth for the past several years. “As firms sharpen their pencils and analyze the cost centers in their business, many are concluding they can save dollars by moving their servers and IT assets to a co-location facility like Xand, or better yet, having a service provider manage their whole IT environment,” he said.
Xand officials said the 21-year-old company is discussing plans for additional facilities.
