CenturyLink Opens Hydro-electric-powered Data Center

CenturyLink inaugurated a new data center in central Washington, adding hydro-electric-powered data center services to its hybrid IT services portfolio.

The data center, located in Moses Lake, Washington, will ultimately support up to 30 megawatts of IT load on the site, with an initial ramp to 8 megawatts. It offers data center and network services, and includes access to cloud, colocation and managed services available through CenturyLink's global data center footprint.

"Enterprises enjoy global access to CenturyLink's portfolio of cloud and managed hybrid IT services, and we continue to extend the reach of our data center footprint to new markets to meet from the needs of our customers."

The property is owned by Server Farm Realty and leased to CenturyLink.
