Acquisition and Renovation
The company celebrated the opening of its newly renovated facility in Oklahoma City with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a series of inaugural events.
Situated on four acres, the 65,000 sq ft facility was renovated to withstand tornado-force winds of up to 310 mph. Originally owned by Devon Energy, the facility underwent renovations to transition from a single-client environment to a multi-client one, deploying a minimum of 2.5 MW of critical IT load with expansion capabilities up to 12 MW.

"Our mission is to provide the absolute best data center solutions in emerging markets like Oklahoma City, and we're proud to officially open this state-of-the-art facility," said Tonaquint.
