Hurricane Electric’s President Mike Leber was recently interviewed for Data Center Knowledge about the company’s recent announcement to expand their Fremont 2 facility.
From the article:
Hurricane Electric, which operates the world’s largest IPv6-native Internet backbone, has secured $13 million in financing from Bank of the West to fund a major expansion of its data center in Fremont, Calif. The company will use the funds to build and outfit 24,000 square feet of data center space at its Fremont 2 facility. The expansion will also add 3 megawatts of power capacity at Fremont 2, a 208,000 square foot facility.
Hurricane Electric said the expansion will allow it to accommodate additional tenants seeking to leverage its global network.
“Hurricane Electric is thrilled with the recent growth in demand for quality colocation services, and to have financing from a well-respected financial institution like Bank of The West,” said Mike Leber, Hurricane Electric’s president. “With yet another expansion of our Fremont 2 facility, Hurricane Electric will be able to offer prime wholesale colocation to new customers seeking the high level of service current customers have come to expect. Over the years, more and more companies have chosen Hurricane Electric for our competitive pricing and nearly 100 percent uptime.”
