Case Study: NetApp achieves a state-of-the-art data center delivered in under a year with Digital Realty

State-of-the-Art Data Center Delivered in Under a Year

NetApp, a Sunnyvale-based global data storage and data management provider used by 96% of the Fortune 100, faced exploding data demand as customers moved to the cloud. The company needed a best-in-class, energy-efficient data center to serve as the backbone for expanding services and operations—and it required a custom facility to be completed within an exceptionally tight, roughly one-year timeframe.

NetApp selected Digital Realty, which secured a Hillsboro, Oregon site within three months and delivered a 48,000 sq. ft. custom facility in under a year. Delivered in August 2012, the energy-efficient data center reduces total cost of occupancy and now serves as NetApp’s hub for customer support and corporate IT, enabling continued service expansion.
