The data center, which will be located at 4 TEK Park and ready for occupation at the end of the year, is receiving a $16 million investment, most of which will go towards the purchase of equipment. Part of the investment consists of a $1.67 million state economic development funding package. DBSi, which will run the center, has similar facilities in nearby Bethlehem and Valley Forge.

"TEK Park has incredible structures and infrastructure surrounding, which makes it an ideal place for this data center for DBSi," a Wall Street West source tells GlobeSt.com. "It has this tremendous power capability coming into that building. It has a 12 megawatt backup generator, which is important."

Larry Stuardi, CEO of MRA Group, which developed TEK Park, agrees that "what DBSi is doing is taking advantage of about $100 million of infrastructure that's already on site, which is decreasing their cost. When you're talking about building out a data center, usually that would be a 12 to 18 month process. Here, the electric, the cooling, everything is in place, so they can move forward as quickly as possible."
