Harrisonburg Cyber Integration Center
By Scott Rogers • October 22, 2013
As reported in the Daily News Record last month, the large data center on North Main Street in Harrisonburg was sold to DBT-Data for $35M last month. Here is the history of the property.... February 2005: N Main Properties purchase for $1.3M June 2007: N Main Properties to Criticon for $3.8M January 2008: Criticon to DBT-Data for $3.6M March 2010: DBT-Data to Harris Corp for $41.6M Harris Corp invests another $22M in the facility ($42M + $22M = $64M !?!!) Feb 2012: Harris shuts down data center Sept 2013: Harris Corp to DBT-Data for $35M A recent press release offers further insights on the facility.... DBT-Data (the new owner of the Harrisonburg data center) now owns five data centers in Virginia. The Harrisonburg data center is the only data center in Maryland or Virginia with a Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute. This ranking relates to the "security and risks of a data center's performance" --- there are four tiers (I, II, III, IV) with IV being the highest. The Harrisonburg data center (aka the "Cyber Integration Center") features 100% perimeter fencing, card readers and biometric access at all control points, 24/7 on site IT and security staff, high-efficiency evaporative chillers, air-side economizers for free cooling, and UPS. It will be interesting to see if DBT-Data can now make good use of this data center, and bring in government and private sector clients for their data storage needs. Receive Updates by Email
