Peak 10 building Tampa data center

TAMPA -Peak 10 Inc. has started construction on a 60,000-square-foot data center facility in Tampa. The Charlotte, N.C.-based I.T. infrastructure and cloud-services company purchased 6.88 acres for the project on Parkedge Drive in Hidden River Corporate Park late last years for $1.1 million.

The new two-story facility will be the company's first to be designed and constructed completely from the ground up. It will increase Peak 10's Tampa footprint to more than 129,000 square feet with three separate facilities, and to roughly 230,000 square feet statewide.

Peak 10 says the data center will allow it to serve up to 600 additional customers.
