“In a time when some companies are scaling back, Flexential is moving forward with multi-million dollar investment in our infrastructure, building our largest data center to date, providing inventory and low latency connections for our customers to manage their technology and SaaS requirements,”
~ Chris Downie CEO Flexential
Over the years, the company provided new services to its data centers, including a cloud on-ramp and connections to several subsea cables. We look forward to Flexential being a part of our community for years to come,” according to Dan Dias, director, Economic and Community Development, Hillsboro, Ore. This new data center will connect to Flexential’s Portland–Hillsboro 2 data center, which is also expanding this month by 66,000 sq. ft. and adding more than 5 MW. Portland-Hillsboro 2 includes multi-tenant cloud, private cloud, DRAAS and a full suite of data protection capabilities, and is home to ONTAP AI, a fully optimized and tested infrastructure solution for AI workloads, available to data scientists wanting to take a test drive.
“Flexential was the first colocation company to build in Hillsboro 20 years ago and has continued to innovate and grow ever since, making significant investments and providing critical infrastructure services to the region”.
It is the first Nvidia-certified colocation site globally to host the program.“Oregon is a very appealing market for our customers who seek an alternative to Silicon Valley because Hillsboro provides lower power rates, no sales tax, a lower threat of earthquakes, and the fastest, lowest latency subsea cable connectivity to the APAC region,” added Downie. “Plus, Hillsboro provides some of the lowest latency access to AWS and Azure.” Flexential’s Hillsboro 3 data center will have access to renewable, green energy options and offer the highest levels of cooling efficiency and high-density capabilities, capable of handling deployments of more than 1500 watts per sq. ft. for the most intensive applications, including AI.
As part of the FlexAnywhere™ ecosystem, Hillsboro 3 will use the connectivity benefits of all carriers within the Portland region, including the FlexAnywhere network fabric, which ensures maximum performance and reliability. Included is access to the Wave metro fiber system that will connect up to 14 existing or planned data centers and will service seven trans-Pacific submarine cable systems. The newest ring boasts 3,456 strands of fiber optic network, of which 1728 runs between Flexential’s Hillsboro 2 and Hillsboro 3 facilities.
