US data center services company Internap Network Services Corp. has launched a data center in Secaucus, New Jersey. The facility is the company's 12^th nationwide.

It will serve customers in the New York metro area and beyond, supporting services that will include including colocation, managed hosting and virtual and bare-metal cloud.

Mike Higgins, senior VP of data center services at Internap, said, “Our new Secaucus facility will empower customers across a range of industries in New York and beyond – from mobile app developers and digital advertisers to financial services and Fortune 500 companies – with high-performance hybrid infrastructure services designed to meet their application needs throughout the complete business lifecycle.”

The company cited a 451 Research study that concluded that multi-tenant data center utilization in the New York metro market was expected to reach 94% by 2014. The Secaucus facility will add 55,000 sq ft over time to Internap’s existing data center capacity in the region, including a facility at 75 Broad St. in Manhattan, which is nearing full capacity.

The N+1 mechanical and electrical infrastructure design of the new facility ensures concurrent maintainability, the company said. It supports densities up to 18kW per rack.

The design includes high-efficiency UPS system, outdoor air cooling system and reclaimed building materials.

Internap offers 100% uptime guarantee for all IT infrastructure services.
