Quality Technology Services, a data center provider, yesterday announced the 200,000 sq. ft. Phase I build-out of the Quality Metro Tech Center, a data center in downtown Atlanta.

To date, 130,000 sq. ft. of space has been sold and plans for Phase II to expand the facility an additional 200,000 sq. ft. are underway. Upon completion of all phases, the one million square foot building will have over 600,000 sq. ft. of raised floor, the company claimed.

The Phase I build-out includes 21 Megawatts of usable UPS power, 200,000 sq. ft. of raised floor, and over 40 Megawatts of generator backup. The facility, located near downtown Atlanta, boasts an on-site substation dedicated to the Quality Metro facility. The site has a fiber access to major network providers. Phase I is estimated to be complete and ready for occupancy by Nov. 2007, claims the company, they added in their release.

"The ability to provide a fully managed high density power and cooling solution across a 200,000 sq. ft. raised floor area puts QualityTech in the top echelon of large scale data center providers," said Mark Waddington, President of QualityTech.
