We are very excited to announce the opening of our newest and largest data center in Toronto Canada. At more than 40,000 square feet, this new data center is more than twice the size of a professional hockey rink and marks the first time we’re offering all three hosting solutions (colocation, dedicated hosting and managed hosting – in Canada).

“The Internet is a vital platform for our customers, and it continues to grow,” said Fabio Banducci, president and CEO for PEER 1 Hosting. “Our new state-of-the-art Toronto data centre ensures we stay current and provide the fastest and most reliable network to serve our customers, now and in the future, while providing PEER 1 with enhanced flexible capacity to support its own growth.”

This is the most efficient data center we’ve built to date, with increased power densities, high reliability, and robust security. Building it in four sections, with each section built as a separate Performance Optimized Data Centre (POD), enabling customers to expand their data center capacity faster than ever before.

The new data center utilizes some of the most efficient products and technologies on the market. This includes a redundant critical cooling infrastructure using both a local well for primary water supply and a connection to the city’s water system.

“We’re also using redundant high-efficiency Variable Frequency Drive centrifugal chillers to reduce cooling costs and condenser towers with economizers,” adds Ryan Murphey, vice president of facilities and data center operations for PEER 1 Hosting. “This enables PEER 1 to lessen the environmental impact of the data center by taking advantage of “free cooling” when the temperature drops below 10C.”

This data center marks our third data center in Toronto and 17th worldwide, adding to our managed network spanning 13,000 route miles of fibre.
