CoreSite Realty Corporation (NYSE:COR) has opened phase one of its new enterprise class data centre development in Los Angeles.

The company has designed a 160,000+ sqf facility with a total of 18MW of capacity, referred to as LA3, in the centre of downtown Los Angeles, and adjacent to CoreSite’s LA2 facility.

The LA3 data centre is the company’s first purpose-built, ground-up development in downtown Los Angeles.

CoreSite has completed phase one of the LA3 development, which consists of 51,000 sqf and 6MW of capacity.

The company said its customers can have direct access to the largest interconnection community in North America while deploying in a modern data centre.

“LA3 expands our footprint in Los Angeles – one of our most high-demand markets – expanding our world-class ecosystem connectivity,” said Brian Warren, CoreSite’s Senior Vice President of Development and Product Engineering.

“We believe this enterprise-class, purpose built, ground-up development will be extremely well suited to meet our customers’ needs.”

The data centre has a resilient design with optimized connectivity, three separate diverse fibre entry routes into the new data centre, and a sustainably designed cooling system that utilises economisation for more than 60% of the year.

The company also mentioned that the facility has diverse dark fibre connecting LA3 to CoreSite’s LA1 and LA2 data centre facilities.

“Customers are a cross connect away from accessing one of the world’s most well-developed ecosystems of cloud providers, networks and subsea cables,” said the company in a written release.

“CoreSite’s Los Angeles campus boasts one of the most well-developed data centre ecosystems in the world, including domestic and international carriers, enterprises, cloud computing providers, media and entertainment firms, social networking sites and gaming companies.

“Tethered together by high-density dark-fibre, the campus is comprised of over 670 networks, cloud and enterprise customers.”
