SEATTLE-After an extensive West Coast selection process, Marvell Technology Group has chosen the Benaroya Co.’s South Hill Data Center to meet its future active computing and disaster recovery requirements. The South Hill Data Center-North Building is a 300,000-square-foot facility that was completed and fully commissioned in July.

According to a prepared statement, the company selected South Hill, just south of Seattle, because “it is a state-of-the-art facility that met its search criteria.” That criterion includes: Extremely efficient and highly reliable critical infrastructure; Very low total cost of operation; Environmental sensitivity—LEED Gold Certified; Scalable and expandable to meet future growth requirements; Secure, private 92-acre campus setting; Excellent fiber-optic connections; and convenient access to SeaTac International Airport.

“We are pleased to be working with Marvell to meet their data center requirements,” says Larry Benaroya, principal of the Benaroya Co. “South Hill Data Center provides an ideal secure facility to handle the rapidly expanding demands of cloud computing, data storage and retrieval, and disaster recovery.”

The Benaroya Co. tells GlobeSt.com that it cannot provide further lease terms at this time except to say that Marvell’s lease is “long term.” The South Hill Data Center-South Building offers an additional 175,000-square-foot “cold shell” space with similar power capacity already in place. The 92-acre South Hill campus also includes additional build to suit opportunities and space for on-site containers for added flexibility and scalability.
