Dedicated server specialist ServePath has expanded into 17,000 square feet of new facilities at Telecom Center San Francisco, a carrier hotel operated by JMA Wired.

ServePath is moving into a data center that was completed by MCI/WorldCom in 2000 but never occupied. The facility in JMA's building at 360 Spear Street includes 3,000 square feet of office space and 14,000 square feet of raised-floor technical space.

ServePath maintains a second San Francisco data center at the Townsend Telecom Center at 650 Townsend Street, which it opened in the fall of 2002. It is among the providers taking advantage of the "dot-com hangover" that left finished facilities available for acquisition at less than their construction cost.

The company's expansion has been driven by strong growth in the market for dedicated servers, which are increasingly popular with hosting resellers and large web sites. ServePath leases dedicated boxes for prices ranging from $99 to $599 a month.

"Expanding into a large data center built by a major telecom carrier, with the best infrastructure available, is allowing us to take our business to the next level," said ServePath CEO John Keagy. "ServePath is pleased to have a presence in Telecom Center San Francisco and we look forward to building a long and solid business relationship with JMA Wired."

"ServePath is a great addition to the roster of tenants at Telecom Center San Francisco," said Art Chapman, President of JMA Wired. "JMA Wired is excited to work with such a fast growing company."

JMA Wired and its affiliates own and operate over 1.5 million square feet of premier telecommunication & colocation facilities throughout the Western United States including: San Francisco, Los Angeles and Phoenix. JMA Wired, LLC is a division of JMA Properties Inc.

ServePath was launched in January 2001 by the founders of InReach Internet. InReach was the largest profitable Internet Service Provider headquartered in California during the 1990s.
