With more than 218 patent and patent-pending claims in data centre technologies, Switch SUPERNAP continues to revolutionise the data centre industry as the only Uptime Institute-rated Tier IV Gold carrier-neutral data centre provider in the world.

As one of the most successful technology start-ups in the history of the state of Nevada, US, Switch SUPERNAP is rapidly expanding from the western US across the country, to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and around the globe into Europe and Asia, with new SUPERNAP Prime data centres opening in the next six months. Switch SUPERNAP is meeting the demand of some of the world’s largest businesses, who want the industry best for their data.

For business enterprises looking for global data centre solutions, Switch SUPERNAP is delivering revolutionary design and scalability through its SUPERNAP Prime data centres and SUPERNAP Edge data centres. SUPERNAP Edge data centres are data centre visionary Rob Roy’s newest creation, and are designed to be rapidly deployed anywhere in the world to fit the needs of any client through a scalable building design.

Combining superscale and function
Currently, Switch SUPERNAP is developing the largest data centre campus in the world in Las Vegas. This will only be surpassed when SUPERNAP Tahoe Reno is opened in late 2016, becoming the largest data centre campus in the world, at 6.4 million sq ft at full build-out. Simultaneously, Switch SUPERNAP is building a two million sq ft data centre campus in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which will become the largest in the eastern US.

Switch SUPERNAP knows that data runs the planet, which is why it wants to ensure that data doesn’t ruin the planet. This is reflected in the company’s achievement of running its US data centre campuses on 100 percent renewable energy, and a commitment to finding 100 percent renewable energy solutions to power its SUPERNAP global developments.

Colocation and collaboration
Switch SUPERNAP is globally known by companies and clients for its excellence in service and client collaboration. From sophisticated start-ups to Fortune 1,000 powerhouses, Switch SUPERNAP clients encompass the planet’s best-known brands, who entrust Switch SUPERNAP with their most important assets, their data.

The SUPERNAP team brings companies together who are able to find solutions and new opportunities through the CORE cooperative, the SUPERNAP ecosystem’s $3trn purchasing cooperative that provides a one-of-a-kind buying power resulting in dramatic cost savings for colocation client members. With connectivity to more than 50 carriers and 26 carriers on-net, more than 100 cloud and managed service providers, and more than 1,000 clients (including eBay, Amgen, Shutterfly, PayPal, REI, Machine Zone, Dreamworks, Sony, Boeing and Intuit), the Switch SUPERNAP elite sales and solutions team has completely redefined the data centre ecosystem client experience.

SUPERNAP Milan
In an industry that continues to grow exponentially, Switch SUPERNAP has responded to European demand by expanding its world-class, patented SUPERNAP data centres abroad. Slated to open in the last part of this year, the SUPERNAP Milan site is currently under construction.

As Switch SUPERNAP continues to pioneer the data centre industry’s highest standards in Europe, it is replicating the same revolutionary high-density design, superscale purchasing ecosystems, unparalleled telecommunications services and industry-leading sustainability in SUPERNAP Milan.
