SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- i/o Data Centers today announced that it has acquired a state-of-the-art and high-power industrial colocation facility in Phoenix. The new site will be called i/o Data Centers "Phoenix ONE" and is comprised of a 530,000 square foot facility located on a 31-acre campus. i/o Data Centers will convert the site to its next high-technology, high-security data center and will re-locate its corporate headquarters to the facility as well.
