i/o Data Centers has launched a large data center in New Jersey in a building that used to house printing and warehouse operations of the New York Times.

Size of the plant in the City of Edison is 830,000 sq ft and the company says it will eventually provide up to 100MW of UPS capacity. Initial power capacity at the site is 30MW. At full build-out, the facility will be able to support up to 35,000 cabinet equivalents.

i/o said it had already secured several enterprise customers for the new facility. Offerings range from a retail colo cabinet to multi-module systems.

The company pre-manufactures modules for its data centers at a recently launched plant in Arizona and says this allows it to deliver data center capacity to clients faster than the traditional phased approach to capacity expansion.

i/o president Anthony Wagner said, "Unlike traditional data center real estate projects that take years to build, i/o New Jersey will have capacity available immediately. This is because we manufacture the data center infrastructure at our factory and deliver it when customers need it."

This is the company’s third data center, with the other two located in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona.
