New Exodus Facility Includes Substation
Santa Clara data center is company's 10th in Silicon Valley

Feb. 17, 2001 -- Exodus Communications opened its 10th data center in Silicon Valley Friday, complete with a dedicated electrical substation.
The company said the new facility will help meet growing customer demand for Internet hosting and managed services in Silicon Valley.
"As we continue to expand to meet customer demand, the new electrical substation will provide us with a reliable source of power for our new IDC and future facilities in Silicon Valley," said Ellen M. Hancock, chairman and CEO of Exodus..
The substation will connect directly to local electrical transmission lines, which will help ease demand on the local power distribution system, improve electrical reliability and reduce costs to Exodus, the company said.
The new center also represents the continuation of an aggressive expansion by Exodus, which has 5.2 million square feet of data center space and hopes to expand to 6.7 million square feet by the end of the year.
Exodus Communications is a leading provider of complex Internet hosting for enterprises with mission-critical Internet operations.
