The data center, which will be located at 4 TEK Park and readyfor occupation at the end of the year, is receiving a $16 millioninvestment, most of which will go towards the purchase ofequipment. Part of the investment consists of a $1.67 million stateeconomic development funding package. DBSi, which will run thecenter, has similar facilities in nearby Bethlehem and ValleyForge.

"TEK Park has incredible structures and infrastructuresurrounding, which makes it an ideal place for this data center forDBSi," a Wall Street West source tells GlobeSt.com. "It has thistremendous power capability coming into that building. It has a 12megawatt backup generator, which is important."

Larry Stuardi, CEO of MRA Group, which developed TEK Park,agrees that "what DBSi is doing is taking advantage of about $100million of infrastructure that's already on site, which isdecreasing their cost. When you're talking about building out adata center, usually that would be a 12 to 18 month process. Here,the electric, the cooling, everything is in place, so they can moveforward as quickly as possible."
