SUNNYVALE, California, January 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

CentralColo, is proud to announce that it has completed deployment of Baidu Research into its new pay per use high density focused data center.

Baidu Research had been searching for the right partner to empower its growth. "The unique demands of doing cutting-edge research using an HPC cluster made it crucial to find the right partner for us in the area. Due to the high density in our compute clusters and evolving requirements that necessitate short timelines and flexible arrangements it was important to find a provider we were happy with.  The team at CentralColo was able to quickly and attentively provide us with the power, cooling, and other requirements needed to continue and expand our research."

CentralColo's investment into high density data and compute center, has enabled the company to attract Silicon Valley firms that are in need of the power and cooling to support their complex data crunching and calculations.

"We have seen an increase of customers requesting cabinets with 15 to 25 KW density so we invested in our infrastructure in order to support IT loads up to 25 KW per cabinet."
