New Plug-N-Play Data Center Online

Clise Properties offers global businesses cutting-edge data center and telecommunications facilities in the downtown Seattle core.

SEATTLE, Wash (PRWEB) June 14, 2003 -- Clise Properties, Inc., working in conjunction with Seattles premier telecommunications carrier hotel the Westin Building, has made available for lease up to 20,000 SF of newly renovated technology center space in its Securities Building.

The space, known as the Securities Building Technology Center, makes it possible for Clise Properties to provide regional businesses and Securities Building tenants with low-cost next-generation data center facilities and access to more than 150 providers of high-bandwidth Internet access as well as telecom services and facilities through its close affiliation with The Westin Building.

Tech companies can move in today and be connected to the Internet service provider of their choice within hours," said Kyle Peters, Vice President of Clise Properties, Inc. With our Westin Building direct connection, we offer what no other facility in town can offer."

The Securities Building Technology Center is arguably the finest data center facility in Seattle, built to the most stringent standards and providing four 9s of up time (shorthand for dedicated systems that keep networks and systems running 99.99 percent of the time.)

The facilities are built with the N+1 infrastructure required for todays technology dependent companies including battery-backed power plants, redundant HVAC units, state-of-the-art, very-early smoke detection systems, a CCTV digital video recording system, biometric access control, and a generator to provide power in the event of extended utility outages.

This space offers businesses the reliability and connectivity they need to compete in todays highly competitive e-business environment," said Westin Building Telecom Facilities Manager, Michael Boyle. Over a five-year period, a company can save up to $200,000 leasing 2,000 SF at the Securities Building Technology Center instead of building out their own space, while at the same time retaining a much more reliable and robust site."

Clise Properties assumed management of the former Clear Blue data center (originally developed and operated by Colo.com) in the Securities Building and transformed it into the new Securities Building Technology Center. The recently upgraded data center offers leaseable access to multiple fiber connections to the Westin Building, enabling tenants to take advantage of the numerous telecom services and facilities available there, and making the Securities Building Technology Center a 20,000 SF virtual expansion of the Westin Buildings telecommunications facilities.

The Westin Building (http://www.westinbuilding.com/) houses over 150 telecommunications companies and is the largest carrier hotel in the Pacific Northwest.
