SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fortune Data Centers announced today the introduction of its new RackReady solution. The RackReady product is a simple and cost-effective option for colocation customers who are ready to step up to wholesale, but don't want to manage the costs or complexity of building out their own suite. RackReady is available for up to one-megawatt (MW) deployments in both Fortune's Oregon and San Jose facilities.

"We've listened to the market and believe that there is significant demand for tenants that want the economic benefits of wholesale colocation, but aren't as keen to engage architects, hire contractors, or commission their own power distribution equipment," said John Sheputis, CEO of Fortune Data Centers. "Retail tenants really want to place their cabinets and turn them up. Our goal was to create a product that did everything else."
Fortune's RackReady product capitalizes the majority of build-out costs as part of the rent and streamlines the installation process. Tenants lease space that is ready for IT deployment. Fortune's solutions architects work with the customer to design a solution to meet the size, energy density, and phasing of the IT requirement. Fortune will then design, build, and install electrical, cage wall/doors, physical security, aisle containment, and ladder racking. The RackReady offering is intended to alleviate hassles for the tenant and allows them to benefit from Fortune's state of the art energy efficiency and best industry practices, including 100% aisle containment.
Sheputis added, "We've signed deals for RackReady in San Jose and Oregon, confirming our belief that this solution is something the market needs and will welcome."
