TierPoint, a leading national provider of hybrid IT solutions, including cloud, colocation and managed services, completed an expansion of its data facility in Hawthorne, New York.

The $13 million investment adds 13,500 sq. ft. of raised floor space and is the first phase of an expected multiphase expansion. The expanded facility, located outside New York City's 12-mile blast zone and the 500-year flood zone, now includes over 65,000 sq. ft. of total raised floor data center space and more than 70,000 sq. ft. of customizable business continuity/private suite space, easily accessible for Connecticut, New York and New Jersey clients.

"Our location, combined with the fact that we offer connectivity with ultra-low latency, a half-millisecond to Manhattan's financial district, continues to fuel our growth and expansion," said TierPoint Regional Vice President John Vernazza.

Other facility features include dual factor, biometrical access control with around-the-clock onsite security; dual utility service feeds with onsite TierPoint controlled substations; independent AB power distribution; N+1 backup generators; 2N chilled water configuration with N+1 CRAH deployment; all designed for supporting up to 350 watts per square foot of raised floor. The site is carrier neutral with diverse fiber points of entry for redundancy.

Like all TierPoint data centers, the Hawthorne facility meets compliance standards for HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GLBA and SSAE18, SOC 2 Type II. TierPoint also holds EU-US Privacy Shield certification and ITAR registration on a company-wide basis.
