The added data center space is being built from the ground up adjacent to the existing data center building and will bring the total Brookwood footprint to roughly 220,000 square feet. "We are seeing great demand for connectivity-enabled colocation and highly-reliable hybrid IT solutions across the country, and especially in the greater Portland area," said Chris Downie, CEO for Peak 10 + ViaWest. "Our Brookwood data center is a highly sought after location due its impressive high-density capacity and impending carrier-neutral, low-latency connectivity to Asia and the South Pacific. Our customers – and the industry – will continue to see us add new capacity and capabilities to our data centers to address this demand." Earlier this year, Brookwood was chosen as the US point of presence for both the New Cross Pacific and Hawaiki Submarine cables.

Nate Corley, CareOregon's executive director of information services, states, "Peak 10 + ViaWest worked closely with us to migrate our most sensitive information safely to a hybrid solution, with our main servers housed in the Brookwood facility." Corley continued, "We were able to increase our density significantly and now have better power generation. Plus, we've already seen a 20 percent savings in network connectivity and improved efficiency, among other benefits. We couldn't be happier with the results." The Brookwood expansion follows Peak 10 + ViaWest's recent acquisition of a 203,000-square foot data center in Philadelphia, and an 88,000 square foot expansion of its Englewood, Co., Compark data center.
