I recently worked on behalf of Savvis to secure a 100,000sf powered shell facility in Toronto, ON which will become a T3 DC opening in 2014. Would be happy to share my experiences on the project with you and help you understand more about your needs and the real estate aspect of opening a data center i.e power + fibre redundancy, flood plains, threats, etc... Send me a private message if you want to chat!
Congrats on your deal. There's been a lot of new capacity coming online in Toronto over the last 12 months. What's your perspective of pricing trends and the supply and demand balance?
