Data Center Industry Grows in Garden State

CLIFTON, NJ-The recent opening of a data center here confirms the Garden State's growing stature in this sector.

CLIFTON, NJ-Telx, a provider of collocation data center services, recently opened a facility here. It joins the company’s other data centers in New York City and Weehawken.

Last year, Telx acquired the 24,000-square-foot building at 100 Delawanna Ave. Tesh Durvasula, chief marketing and business officer for Telx, tells GlobeSt.com that the facility can be used by a variety of business, such as Internet/telecommunications outfits; healthcare and financial firms; government or educational agencies; as well as Web 2.0 companies.

Headquartered in New York City, Telx operates about a dozen data centers in North America. Although it is close to Manhattan, New Jersey offers a lower cost structure in terms of real estate and power, as well as the ability to connect to worldwide telecommunication systems, Durvasula says, which makes it a popular spot for data centers. “You need to be able to talk to many networks to be a global player and many of those networks are accessible when you go closer to New York and/or New Jersey,” he says.
