Managed Data Holdings continues to invest in expanding and upgrading the data center facilities it has acquired. The company has hired Syska Hennessy Group Construction, Inc. to design and build a major expansion of its recently acquired Stargate data center in Oak Brook, Ill. The 13,000 square-foot expansion will add approximately 7 megawatts of critical power to the facility, enabling Managed Data to provide a full suite of managed services at the facility.

The addition will give the Stargate center 29,000 square feet of raised floor space, with Managed Data projecting a full build-out of more than 65,000 square feet of usable space during 2009.

Managed Data Holdings (MDH) was founded in June 2007 by Catalyst Investors and Great Hill Partners. It has moved quickly to build a footprint in the managed hosting sector, acquiring three providers and quickly expanding their data center capacity. Here's a recap:

The Stargate data center is an 86,000 square foot facility that was completed in late 2007.

"This expansion and design, along with the investments we are making in our other data centers, allows us to provide the types of colocation, managed hosting and managed services that customers require for their critical systems in the most reliable manner," said Evans Mullan, chief operating officer of Managed Data Holdings. "In addition to our flexible and adaptable solutions ranging from cabinets to 5,000 square-foot secure microsuites, customers will get an environment meeting their expansion needs, within a secure data center of our size and capabilities."

Syska Hennessy Group provides engineering and construction management services for data center facilities to a range of clients, from moderately sized regional companies to many of the Fortune 100.
